Good thing I’ve been using Raindrop.io to manage my bookmarks for years because I used to switch browsers so often. I’ve settled on Firefox for the most part, but am looking forward to Arc on Windows.
I use it at work and it’s simplified a lot of things. On Mac I use different desktop spaces for different apps. So it put a lot of my apps onto one screen instead of 3. I put Spotify, my project management software, and my browser on one screen. So it simplified my workflow in that way.
I also like the different spaces that you can setup. So I have one space for general work tabs, stock imagery websites, and then inspiration websites. All while keeping my 6 most used websites at the top. So really I like how it’s rearranged my bookmarks. Also a fan of its Split View management. I know I could just drag a tab out in chrome or whatever. But this will automatically size them nicely.
Overall I could see it not being very useful if you just use a browser for checking email or one or two sites. But it excels at managing a lot of tabs.
Edit: One last thing I love is the auto tab delete after 12 hours (you can change the time or turn it off). I love being able to just spam tabs and come back the next day and have it all clean and fresh.

I’ve started using arc on Mac and I can’t go back. Hopeful that it gets released on windows soon.
Can you tell me the appeal of Arc? I have it, and I’ve used it, but I just can’t seem to “get it”.

Is there a self-hosted version or alternative? This looks solid, but I’ve been trying to self host as much as possible
Here you go, comrade:

I chose Linkding because it’s simple to set up, I’m looking forward to Omnivore when it’s a bit more easy to self-host.
