My issue with Arc is the non-macness of the UI. I find it a great design exercise but is not exactly what I expect from a Mac app.
Orion is much more interesting in terms of UI and also in performance, but I have to say that tab management on Arc is superior, as it has the concept of "folders", not only nested tabs. Orion has something like this planned, but there's no clear date.
Arc is nice to use but I feel bad using it because it’s Chromium-based, which furthers the growing Chromium monopoly. It bugged me enough that I switched back to Safari and Firefox as my main browser (depending on platform), keeping Arc around only for situations where a Chromelike is required.
I haven't used it, but taking a look at the website kind of makes my eyes bleed. There's a lot of clicking involved to see actual screenshots of that thing.
Thanks for that. I share your thoughts on the content density in Arc vs Orion.
The solution you're proposing (kanban style) is intriguing and something I would find pretty useful. Might even make me switch to Orion back.
I switched from Orion mainly because Spaces don't share cookies and sessions with each other, meaning that I can have [Private][Work - General][Work - Client] and use for example Gmail in each of those with different accounts, without fear of switching to a personal/work one.
I also lost tabs in Orion when syncing multiple devices, which Arc has handled flawlessly. It's interesting, because they both use iCloud.
