It was far more capable than Chrome and soon became an essential part of my workflow. It annoyed me then, when the makers basically mothballed it in favour of a new AI-infused browser called Dia. Earlier this week, they went even further and basically announced the browser was being fully shut down. </p> <p>Enter Crest. I installed it last night and so far it’s been a like-for-like replacement. It even has a migration feature to import your Arc spaces, extensions and history. Very effortless. Worth a look if you’re also an Arc user wondering where to go next.</p> <figure class="link"><a class="card card--image" href="https://crestbrowser.com/"><span class="card__text"><span class="card__site">Crest</span><span class="card__title">Crest Browser for Mac, iPad, and iPhone</span><span class="card__desc">An independent browser made with a love for Arc&#x27;s best ideas, including Spaces, a calm sidebar, and Peek.</span></span><img class="card__image" src="https://everyspoilisastyle.com/media/403930338c6d80d5859bd2ce27983418/card-c9626e737d06.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy"></a></figure>
