Compare Arc vs. Island

Arc is not just a web browser; it represents a comprehensive solution for all your online needs in a single interface. Although our usage of the internet has advanced significantly, the basic structure of browsers has largely remained stagnant. In contrast to the ongoing improvements in other software—where we see enhanced collaboration, adaptable designs, and robust features—browsers still function similarly to how they did a quarter-century ago. Additionally, we often hold ourselves accountable for the limitations of our browsing experiences. If we find ourselves overwhelmed by countless tabs, we label ourselves as inefficient; when we lose focus online, we chastise ourselves for lacking self-control; and if we struggle to locate a specific URL, we perceive ourselves as disorganized. So, why does the browser escape scrutiny? This is the motivation behind the creation of Arc, a browser designed to exceed the traditional expectations and truly empower users. We envision a browser that can process information as swiftly as we think, alleviate our workload, and enhance our creative expression. Ultimately, Arc aims to redefine the browsing experience to better align with our modern digital lives.

Island empowers enterprises with comprehensive control over their browser environment, offering unprecedented levels of governance, visibility, and productivity that were previously unattainable.
