Software develpment examples

At Browser HQ, we’ve learned that the small things add up to big ones. Those little, meaningful improvements together can lighten your time online.
As we build Arc, we only want to add features that truly make the small moments in your day better. One less click, fewer keystrokes, and maybe a couple of seconds saved.
Bringing Arc Max to Windows (one of your most highly-requested features!) is just one more way we hope to help with the small, but tedious tasks.
So, read on to welcome Max to Arc — a bundle of AI features bringing you small, but smart improvements!
Tiny but Mighty with Arc Max
Who hasn’t been to a recipe page that tells you about their family history spanning generations about banana bread? Don’t tell us you’ve never visited a restaurant’s website only to leave without finding information about their closing hours.
To help you with everyday tasks, Arc Max focuses on making small improvements, adding up to a better browsing experience. Try out a feature and tell us what you think:
Tidy Tabs: When you have six or more Today Tabs, click 🧹Tidy to organize and group tabs in your sidebar. Shoutout to Sherry for keeping things neat.
Ask on Page: You don’t need to scroll endlessly for information, press CTRL + F to ask Arc any question about the current page. Alexandra is saving us a lot of scrolling with this feature.
