The Browser Company have hired Darin Fisher to build Arc, a new browser:

Arc is full of new ideas about how web browsers can work: it combines bookmarks and tabs into one app switcher-like concept; it makes it easy to search among your open tabs; it has built-in tools for taking notes and making shareable mini websites.

Arc is very different from other browsers. The breadth of new functionality in Arc is overwhelming at first. I initially toyed around with Arc for an hour and then didn’t open it for a couple of weeks. But I came back, and it’s growing on me.

Most of our work happens in browsers today, meetings, emails, calendars, or writing. And Arc does an excellent job of grouping all those aspects into spaces, split panels, keeping important tabs open, closing others automatically. Overall it’s a more organised browsing experience.
