The Arc Search browser is now generally available for Android users, allowing access to its features beyond its initial iOS and macOS exclusivity. After an October beta release, The Browser Company has formally launched the stable version, promising to cater to millions of Android users.

Arc Search: Key features and enhancements for Android

This new version of Arc Search introduces several desirable features such as voice search, home screen widgets, and optimized performance for Android 12 and above. Users can select from various app icons, including a unique ‘Neon’ design exclusive to Android, allowing for a more personalized experience. The browser claims to provide a faster search capability compared to traditional browsing methods, which has started to attract attention in the competitive market.

During its beta period, Arc Search saw more than 100,000 downloads shortly after its launch on the Play Store, showcasing the growing interest in alternatives to mainstream browsers. The Android version, built on the same Chromium framework as Google Chrome, has eliminated many limitations seen in the beta version. Now users can enjoy enhanced functionalities, though some features like the “Call Arc” feature from the iOS version are still absent. This particular tool allows users to ask questions in a conversational tone by simply raising their device to their ear, a fun and accessible way to get answers on the go.

While the browser has managed to bring significant updates, The Browser Company is also mindful of the challenges it faces. Arc has differentiated itself with a unique interface that some users find difficult to learn and navigate. CEO Josh Miller acknowledged this in conversations with The Verge, admitting that despite a four-fold increase in user growth, Arc still struggles to capture a mainstream audience. This feedback highlights the delicate balance between catering to power users while trying to make the product more approachable.


AI-backed Arc Max browser has cool features


In anticipation of future growth, the company plans to shift focus towards developing new products that could resonate with a broader audience. The details regarding these upcoming products remain under wraps, but it carries an ambitious vision of enabling users to “glide around the internet” seamlessly, aided by AI enhancements. Concepts for a powerful command bar designed to guide users to the right information through intelligent suggestions have already been showcased in previous releases of the Arc browser.

While the Android version makes notable strides, it’s important to note that not everything has made it from iOS. For example, even with the inclusion of widgets and improved support for landscape mode, some users will miss the ‘Call Arc’ feature which remains exclusive to the iPhone version. Users see the potential but will continue to request additional functionalities that enhance user experience across all platforms.
