  Arc is a Chromium-based alternative web browser from The Browser Company,
  organized around Spaces, Profiles, Split View, Boosts (user-authored
  CSS/JS overlays), Easels, Notes, and Arc Search on mobile. Arc is primarily
  a consumer product without a broad public developer REST API. Developer
  surface area is limited to Developer Mode in the desktop browser, the
  underlying Chromium extension model, and user-created Boosts. The company
  has signalled that Arc's active product investment is winding down in favor
  of the successor product, Dia.
