Arc

brew install --cask arc v1.152.0,82313

Chromium-based browser with a sidebar-focused UI and built-in AI features for research and productivity.

Why you might care

Arc positions itself as an alternative to traditional tab management with a vertical sidebar, integrated notes, and AI-powered features. It's best for users who want a modern rethink of browser workflows rather than just another Chrome fork, though it's still in active development and invitation-based on some features.
