"Is it fast? Blazing. Is it minimal? It can disappear entirely. Is it private? By default. But that's only the table stakes."

Agreed! Especially from a narrative POV... those features are so BORING! If you don't have those things, don't even bother. But once you do — what comes next, THAT'S what's interesting.

Also, you didn't mention Boosts. I think there's something huge there, but I'm not sure what yet.

Looking forward to the next installation!

100% agreed, Chris!

I'm gonna get into Boosts in Part II. I think there's something interesting there too :)

Hey Jacob, I got the chance to try Arc after reading your article, and has decided to stick with it for daily personal usage. Although there are still some bumps here and there, I have to say that Arc a pretty powerful user tool.

I even just wrote an article highlighting how Arc has revolutionized web browsing through its innovative use of tabs from the product design perspective: https://medium.com/@lilacShenn/elevate-your-browser-discover-the-power-of-arcs-tabs-14ba783639fb )

Thank you for sharing the thoughts here!

Hey Martin!

Unfortunately, I don't think this is something I can help expedite. I've asked if I could give a line pass for readers of MPS but that's not something they do.

From what Josh has told me, they're onboarding hundreds, if not thousands, of new users every month but their waiting list is growing pretty rapidly so just hang in there and your invite will come.
