For the work you used to do in Arc
Arc browser alternative: try Tabbit.
If you came to Arc for vertical tabs and stayed for a better way to work, try Tabbit. Keep pages organized, ask questions about what is open, and hand a multi-step web task to AI.
Desktop: macOS and Windows. Free experience available; AI models and quotas depend on region and plan.
Choose the part of Arc you need to replace.
These are four different routes. Start with the workflow you want to keep, then test the tradeoff on your own machine.
| Browser | Choose it for | Check before switching |
|---|---|---|
| Tabbit | Vertical tabs, page Q&A, web tasks and reusable Skills in one browser. | Check import options, extension compatibility and AI quotas. Arc Spaces are not promised to transfer intact. |
| Dia | The migration path recommended by the team behind Arc. | Arc says Dia directly imports passwords, history, tabs, Profiles, Folders, bookmarks and extensions on Mac and Windows. This is the official Dia migration route, not a promise about Tabbit. Paid plans begin with most new Mac users. Existing users keep their current access for now and receive at least 30 days’ email notice before paid plans apply. Windows stays as it is for now; Dia will notify users before changes. |
| Zen | A Firefox-based, open-source browser with workspaces and split view. | Use Firefox extensions rather than Chrome extensions; the official site still labels it beta. |
| Vivaldi | Configurable vertical tabs, tab stacks, tiling and workspaces. | Expect to configure shortcuts and layout to match your habits. |
This is a Tabbit guide, not a performance benchmark. Dia migration details come from Arc’s announcement; other features come from the products’ own materials.
From open pages to a finished task.
The reason to try Tabbit is what you can do with your tabs once they are organized.
Read a page. Ask a better question.
Ask for a summary, translation or explanation while the source is still open. Add selected tabs or files as context instead of copying everything into another chat.
Give the browser an outcome.
Task mode can research pages, operate websites and prepare files. Specify the sources and output you need, follow the execution steps, and check the final data.
Save the workflow as a Skill.
Turn a useful prompt or repeatable task into a Skill. Choose from the models available in your region and plan, then reuse the workflow for the next project.

A successful Arc migration means your daily work still works. Keep a backup until you have checked the replacement.
Save what matters
Before December 22, open Arc Settings > Advanced > Export Data. On Windows, look for Export Spaces and tabs in Advanced. This saves a list of links for use in another browser. A link export is not a complete migration of Spaces, passwords, extensions or signed-in sessions. Check the destination importer and rebuild the organization you need.
Check the importer
Inspect the import choices in your installed Tabbit version. If Arc is not listed, use a supported export and import route. Do not assume passwords, cookies or Spaces will transfer.
Test sites and extensions
Check your password manager, work accounts, essential extensions and shortcuts. Rebuild one project’s tab group before moving everything.
Try a useful AI task
Summarize a source page or compare a few product pages. Review citations and output, then decide whether to make Tabbit your default.
Questions before you leave Arc
Has Arc Browser already shut down?
Arc for macOS and Windows will stop working on December 22, 2026. New Arc accounts closed on October 22; existing members can use the browser until the sunset.
Which Arc browser alternative should I try?
Try Tabbit for page Q&A, AI tasks and Skills alongside vertical tabs. Consider Dia for the official migration path, Zen for a Firefox-based workspace, or Vivaldi for detailed tab customization.
Can Tabbit import all of my Arc data?
Check the importer in your installed Tabbit version and verify bookmarks, history, extensions and sign-ins separately. Complete Arc Spaces transfer, session transfer and a fixed migration time have not been verified. Arc says Dia directly imports passwords, history, tabs, Profiles, Folders, bookmarks and extensions on Mac and Windows. This is the official Dia migration route, not a promise about Tabbit.
Is Tabbit an Arc alternative for Windows?
Tabbit offers Windows and macOS desktop versions. Check the regional download page for current system requirements. This guide does not promise a Linux release or identical mobile features.
Is Tabbit free?
Tabbit is free to download. Free includes a basic AI allowance; setting Tabbit as the default browser unlocks Standard with 10× that allowance for free. Pro is optional and paid. Limits and model access depend on region and plan.
Will Tabbit feel exactly like Arc?
No. Vertical tabs help preserve a familiar browsing habit, but shortcuts, tab groups, import behavior and AI tools differ. Try one project before changing your default browser.
