Arc Search was made available to all Android users following the open beta process that started last month. Arc Search, which stands out as an alternative to Chrome and introduces itself as the “fastest search method”, aims to offer speed and innovative features to Android users. Arc, which first appeared as a desktop browser on the Mac platform, has become not only a browser but also a search engine that promises a personalized experience to the user. In addition, it aims to be a strong alternative in the mobile field with the launch of Android.
One of the most striking features of Arc Search is that it offers the user an uninterrupted search experience by completely blocking ads. Thanks to this feature, users can have a more efficient internet experience by not having to navigate websites that are interrupted or slowed down by ads. In addition, an artificial intelligence-based feature called “travel for me” quickly summarizes users’ search results and saves time by highlighting important information. Although Browser Company CEO Josh Miller stated in a statement in September that Arc primarily prioritizes laptops, it is clear that the company is trending towards mobile usage.

New features specific to the Android version
Based on feedback from more than 100,000 Android users who participated in last month’s open beta, Arc Search has undergone significant improvements. In line with this feedback, Android 12 support was provided and new features that directly affect the user experience, such as voice search, were added. In addition, landscape mode support was introduced for Android users and the browser’s incognito mode was renewed. The improvements made to incognito mode aim to address users’ privacy concerns more effectively. Thus, users can feel more comfortable about data security while browsing in the browser.
The arrival of Arc Search to the Android platform is seen as part of Browser Company’s goal to strengthen its position in the mobile search market. In line with this strategy, the company introduced its mobile browser specific to the iOS platform last January and launched the Windows version in April. The company’s plan to expand its search engine to a wide range of platforms reflects its desire to reach more users.
In summary, Arc Search stands out with its features that are specially optimized for Android users and shaped according to users’ experiences. These features include ad blocking, artificial intelligence-supported search results summary, and advanced privacy options. While it is wondered how Arc Search will compete in the mobile search market, it is expected to become an effective alternative, especially for Android users, considering users’ search for a fast and uninterrupted experience.
