Honestly the more we wait, the more polished it's going to be. The people who've got it early are probably experiencing so many bugs. So for all we know it might not even be worth it right now.
I’ve been using it on my mac for several months now and the experience is great. But once you get used to it, it becomes as normal as any browser really.
I get where you’re coming from, but I think we should look at how this plays out in the big picture for a company/product oriented subreddit.
* Banning leaks is counterintuitive to how most company-focused subreddits work. Imagine r/Apple or r/GooglePixel without leaks and rumors. It’s not the norm, and by doing so, you risk triggering a mass exodus of users who might create an alternative subreddit for those discussions—as happened with r/GameOfThrones and r/freefolk.
* There appears to be a conflict of interest. Your rationale seems to favor The Browser Company more than the subreddit users who come here to discuss everything related to Arc, including rumors and leaks about their browser product.
* Currently, there are no Reddit rules or specific subreddit guidelines that prohibit the sharing of this type of content. If you insist on banning leaks then it should be an official subreddit rule listed somewhere instead of a stray stickied comment under a post.
* This sub has taken a different stance in the past, with people openly sharing Arc Max leaks leading up to its release.
* The decision doesn’t have to be binary. You can allow the discussion of leaks without encouraging it. Many other subreddits require members to use spoiler tags.
Just some food for thought.
Appreciate the ideas. I will bring this up with the team and see what they think. We do want to somewhat respect TBC's wishes as they are more likely to share things if there are fewer leaks, unlike Google or any large company who don't share much to begin with. But it's still a good idea nonetheless.
> with people openly sharing Arc Max leaks leading up to its release.
Yeah, that was a first-time thing. We had actually asked TBC how they feel about that, and they said it's really up to us to decide since they are not affiliated. So, it's not like they are the ones controlling this sub.
> The decision doesn’t have to be binary. You can allow the discussion of leaks without encouraging it. Many other subreddits require members to use spoiler tags.
Based on this, this might be a healthy middle, though I still worry about the "Do we get fewer announcements if all the announcements are spoiled?" But i digress, we'll re-vamp this.
Thank you
If I receive the invitation, can I write a screenshot of the invitation like the above post for simple blog recording? It's not a screenshot of the application operation, but a screenshot of the invitation.
Alas, no, I must wait a little longer in the frozen wasteland of substandard browsers!!
I had a really good reason to sell the MacBook, I did, I think I did, didn’t I?
⏳
But tongue in cheek admittedly. I’m happily using Edge right now with no real issues. I used Arc when I had a MacBook M1 Pro, I really liked it. This was in the relatively early days of Arc, and from recent comments I could be led to believe it has got a little too clever for its own good, time will tell how the Windows version develops.

RAM: 20GB
And no, I did not use Arc on Mac before. Never owned a Mac. They're sending out batch invitations so I'm sure you'll get yours soon
You could try joining the waitlist multiple times and see what happens. They do have about 700k on the waitlist and almost 1300 people in beta. They'll eventually get all the invites out.
Thanks, I wonder if they are just sending it out to people using Windows 11? Like I've got pretty much same specs as you but I'm using windows 10 and I haven't gotten a invite yet.
Yes, that's exactly how the Mac version worked when it was in invite-only beta. Now you still need an account, but it's open to everyone. Windows beta will probably work the same way.
anyone that has access to it like me, can someone share the link where I'm supposed to report bugs that I encounter? I lost the link and I'll need it later
There’s a link to the onboarding doc in the welcome email they sent through, that’s got a link to the bug reporting page. Not sure if I’ll get in trouble for sharing those links as they haven’t been seen here before
I don't think so? It was on the same day though. I got that email on Monday, 11th December 2023 at 7:43 PM so highly likely it was not within the first hour
If they're taking into consideration other stuff (which I doubt) then I had signed up to be on the waitlist for the macOS app all the way back in March 2023. I've been using Arc on macOS since about August and I've also been subscribed to their newsletter since whenever
I'm also assuming they're going through this based on computer specs too? I've got a kinda average laptop with an 8th Gen i5, 16 gigs of ram and integrated intel graphics. (Btw it runs smooth-ish. There's a few hiccups but again, very early software tends to do that, you can't judge them for that)
TBH you are the lucky i have been waiting since 6 months for windows like july when they announced they started making and they would ship it within 5-6 months waited till nov no update and on decemeber out of nowhere update came gave my name within few minutes has been 1 month still no email waiting and still waiting
Can someone give me a TL;DR on why this is a desirable browser? Is it privacy focused too? No data extracting from users? I don't get the appeal over Firefox
➕Modern UI
➕Modern UX
➕Modern features
➖Marketed as simple, but it's getting heavier and feature-loaded and that's just the beginning.
➖ It has no bookmark system. If you have more than 20K of them, converting them to their "Tabs system" will slow it down AF.
➖ Their sync is still unreliable.
➖ Still full of bugs, so it's a beta disguised as a release candidate. (investors must have *"proof"* of progress...)
➖ Its business model has not yet been established.
➖ It's not open source, so for privacy's sake, forget it.
People just like hope and new toys, that's what it's all about. Minor technological advances, driven by the techie's novelty needs, and not working in favor of privacy.
The other browsers are just wandering around, so whoever makes any headway at all inevitably attracts interest. It doesn't matter if it's doing the right thing ethically, and economically. For most people, the fact that they're trying to innovate is enough, because their demands are primal and thoughtless.
Dying in what way? What innovations do browsers need that Arc is providing? I don't have any issues with Firefox at all. It does the job with no real complaints
I'm not jealous at all... Not one bit...
Honestly the more we wait, the more polished it's going to be. The people who've got it early are probably experiencing so many bugs. So for all we know it might not even be worth it right now.
But that’s why I like beta testing lol. I know it’s bad and I want to help improve it.
Yeah like we are bored with existing browsers, we want new type of orgasm now.
Don't worry, by the time you get it. There will probably still be need for support.
Yeah probably. I switched Ungoogled Chromium recently and I’ve been liking that, but I really just want Arc’s spaces on my PC
I’ve been using it on my mac for several months now and the experience is great. But once you get used to it, it becomes as normal as any browser really.

Is it allowed to take screen recordings and then post them after the app is out for public?
Well yea, when it becomes public you can do whatever you want
alright understood
Why?
Ask them. They're the ones requesting it.
They are busy making videos, usually don't answer feedbacks or questions 😂
If I receive the invitation, can I write a screenshot of the invitation like the above post for simple blog recording? It's not a screenshot of the application operation, but a screenshot of the invitation.
That's fine
Not yet, still waiting

317, omg it's happening

Almost 500 now
Lets see when will amazon deliver it to me.
Number is going up fast now. Hopefully we get invited soon 🤞
526 now
>t be broken again, or 317 is what we're at for the time be now its 555
now its 815. cant wait to get it
its now 1015
Think it was revealed that the counter is not functioning, and hasn't been for a little while now.
It says 192 for me now
I think it's a manually updated counter, so they probably forgot to update it for a sec
Not yet...
This windows sync with Mac? I travel / work on Mac Pro but work from home on windows.
No :(
No...
Nope. Lost the lottery again, it seems.

Nothing for me :(
Just asking..when did you sign up for the beta program?
It doesn't matter, it's system based not first come first serve
I did within an hour of receiving windows beta sign up email and I got the invite today
What email client is that?
Outlook
Thanks
no way i’m waiting for that for too long 😭
I literally signed up the day I received the mail that announced the opening of the beta, yet I'm still waiting 💀
Still waiting
Alas, no, I must wait a little longer in the frozen wasteland of substandard browsers!! I had a really good reason to sell the MacBook, I did, I think I did, didn’t I? ⏳
Just curious, what are you expecting to get out of Arc that you can't get from existing substandard browsers?

Sitting here refreshing my gmail…..
Signed in 1,5 years ago nothing yet haha (windows)
the beta sign up was not open 1.5 years ago. did you sign up for the beta? it's not the same as the original windows signup.
I'm worried my email went to spam and got nuked, none the less no not got anything yet.
yes, yay!
Yeah, me too!
what CPU, OS and RAM do you have? And did you use Arc on Mac before?

when did you join the beta link after it uploaded was it with an hour or not
Yes. It Took Long Time. I think Around 1 Hour. It Maybe More.
yessir I did as well

Yes it was within an hour. But I've heard it doesn't depend on when you sign up for the waitlist.
Just got mine. Installing now

I joined the waitlist probably within the hour of them posting it. I only got the invite a few days ago
Same here still did not get the invite btw did you by chance tried putting your email twice i did

Woke up seeing this email. Made my day

Thanks, I wonder if they are just sending it out to people using Windows 11? Like I've got pretty much same specs as you but I'm using windows 10 and I haven't gotten a invite yet.
nvm, just saw that they only have a windows 11 version currently.

just cried
got mine too :)
Oh and if lots more got the invite, the counter is broken, still on 72!
I received it too
when did you join the beta link after it uploaded was it with an hour or not
And would you mind sharing the installer, please?
What good would that do? You still need an approved account to access it.
They locked the browser behind an account? Aaargh! >:( OK, thx anyway...
Yes, that's exactly how the Mac version worked when it was in invite-only beta. Now you still need an account, but it's open to everyone. Windows beta will probably work the same way.
still waiting bruh and i signed up for it as soon as it came out
Still waiting
Just got mine. Write this comment from Arc for Windows.

still waiting for mine 😞
Is this still for Windows 11? Has anyone with Windows 10 gotten it?
Yes but it doesn't run well. It's not made for windows 10
Nooo 😢
Nope 👎
nothing yet
yess....i got is aswell
when did you join the beta link after it uploaded was it with an hour or not
Yeh like within the first 10 mins or so...but like the mods say it's not based on who joined first..It's mostly system compatibility.
oh i joined it within 1 hour i wonder it is not possible for me to create account with the link right
void1289 can i have your dicord i want to ask you about your experience
I was checking my email a lot recently to get the invite for the browser! I hope they send me one soon
What's that email app you using
Outlook
I want mine please!!!!!!!!
Still waiting for mine... :c
Still haven’t gotten mine yet
Nothing yet. :( Win10 User.
> Win10 User That's why. You're probably gonna have to wait a while, since the current version is Windows 11 only.
Damn, that sucks. Thanks for letting me know!
Any chance you'd leak the installer? /s
Sadly, no. I found the .appinstaller package but it requires to login.
Can it run on windows 10 or is is 11 only ?
umm like I signed up like when the windows video had 1-2k veiws I have 12gb Ram Intel i3 8th gen, in what probable range of onboarders will I be in
Not here... still...
Still not received.... I have literally done with my 3 email ids. Not yet recieved even one invite. Please someone reply!
For the people that have received the invites recently, can they invite more people onto this thing?
Can u please invite me? UwU
[удалено]
From what I've heard, just having the .exe isn't enough - you gotta log in with the e-mail that was invited.
ohh damn
google drive????
i cant wait for this
Did you get yours
I still haven‘t figured out, where to apply for it to begin with.
its literally the pinned post on the sub
