The Browser Company, the boldest, most fun, and most humane company on the internet, released a browser Another browser! There is a desktop browser whose mission, "to be a tool for working with the internet," is being successfully realized. Recently there was a beta release for Windows (my condolences), and it is built in Swift (aaaah!) Here you can sign up as a tester And today they released a second mobile browser! Vitalik, they made another product next to the main one 🌚 Here they had a prototype. Here they have a release for research through action. What is cool? The birth story! Here is the short version from Seryozha GPT: - In the fall the team realized they do not like using computers on weekends (as if I do). - Their mobile version of Arc feels like a port from PlayStation 5 to Switch. - Mobile internet infuriates them - our site uses cookies, agree dog. By the way, subscribe to the newsletter, dog. This ad with a half-naked girl and a king will close in 5...4... - Mobile internet really is broken. - Goal: make a browser so you can get in and get out quickly. And a browser against the broken internet. - They assigned a small separate team for three months to figure out how to do all this. What about designs? - A separate custom results page. Clean and neat. Mimicry of iOS through the use of emoji - VisionOS vibes: translucent little glass pieces in shades of gray. - Smoothest animations. - A cool tab-switching mechanic. To quickly compare two pages: just swipe the preview of the previous page-card to the center of the screen. - To speed up interaction, when launching the browser the team immediately raises the keyboard and puts focus in the search field. And do you know who else did that? Your humble servant many years ago. In 2011! - horror, nobody lives that long. Check out the first version of the Yandex mobile app: the keyboard is raised immediately and there are shortcuts for quick access to frequently visited sites
