I wish firefox had better side tabs & workspaces like Arc does, it's the only feature that's keeping me on Arc.
I've tried Firefoxes nightly build with the new side tabs feature but couldn't figure it out as quickly as Arc's - it's so intuitive and I eventually gave up on tinkering with Firefoxes and got back to working in Arc...
I just wish it had an "open new tab beside this one" option instead of Firefox' default behaviour of only opening a tab at the very end.
That said despite some quirks and bugs it works better for me than Brave's vertical tab bar, in which all tabs are simply invisible (I can see the mouse hover highlight but nothing else).
the one feature i would love is the tab overview page from safari. i can't hardly stand browsing without it, but i try to use firefox as much as possible anyways.
I don't think it's complexity keeping Arc from being a massive company. Notion is probably the most confusing software to use. Not only for new users, but as someone that uses it heavily, it probably gets harder and more complex to use it the more you (and your team) use it. But people still love it, and they have captured the gen z audience (see tiktok).

"simple" is probably not the word i would use.
lol it sounds so much more complex

Give a shot to Zen Browser, it's based on Firefox with all that you mentionned.

(I'm not affiliated, just enjoying it)
https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927 this certainly put a bad taste in my mouth
Does Zen browser allow you to hide the top (address) bar? That's the thing I liked about Arc.
Sidebery is the only way to do vertical tabs in FF. It’s really good.

Safari WANT
Exactly. Amazing extension.

I don’t remember what Safari’s looks like but didn’t FF add an overview page recently?
Yes, they did.

This reminds me of a early career Software Engineer who thinks the answer to every complexity problem is to throw it all away and start a rewrite.
I look forward to their third attempt in a few years when Arc: The Sequel gets similar user reviews about it being too complicated.
