Arc Search

Arc Search

Arc Search is an AI-powered mobile browser that transforms how you search and browse the web. Its flagship feature, Browse for Me, lets you ask any question and receive a synthesized answer with citations, saving you from clicking through multiple sites. Additional AI tools include voice search, Call Arc (phone-to-ear conversation with the internet), and pinch-to-summarize for condensing long articles. The browser comes with always-on ad blocking, tracker protection, and automatic cookie banner removal for a clean, private experience. Tabs auto-archive after one day of inactivity, and reader mode strips clutter from articles. Arc Search syncs seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, Windows, and Mac via Arc Sync, keeping your spaces, pinned tabs, and recent tabs consistent. It also supports Chrome extensions, iCloud Keychain, and features like incognito mode and page translation. Developed by The Browser Company, Arc Search is free with no paywalls, focusing on a respectful, user-centric brow
