Installing Arc Browser

[boreal basin]

How does one go about installing arc browser, since there is no windows support?

[main hearth]

You could theoretically install it in Wine (through the Bottles app on Flathub), but I wouldn't recommend it for a browser

Try out Zen Browser, Floorp or Vivaldi instead

They all natively support Linux and have a lot of customisation and cool features

why ark? use zen

[boreal basin]

just cause, I don't mind other browser I've used custom hardened firefox builds

I just need profile switching with swipe, AI search and other productive features

Foss my boi, foss

Floss if you ask the sacred cows

[boreal basin]

foss is great, I just have my own threat model

is zen browser the arc for firefox?

because this is what i've been waiting for

firefox based - arc browser

[main hearth]

Zen with duckduckgo can give you easy profile switching and access to AI (just type in !chat query)

[main hearth]

Kinda, that's their goal

Its early days but its already usable

[boreal basin]

I haven't heard of zen because it's alpha

[main hearth]

And has a lot of cool features already

[main hearth]

Yes but its also an alpha based on the stable build of Firefox, so crashes and website issues should still be rare

[wintry shoal]

Yeah, use it as my only browser, but one notices here and there that they are active and that its alpha.

[main hearth]

I still use my hardened Firefox for now, might move over to zen some day though

[wintry shoal]

Do whatever works for u, but zen is great really

[main hearth]

maybe once their optimised build gets a flatpak
