# Arc vs Vivaldi

Published January 1, 2026 · Updated August 10, 2026

Arc is the top pick for most Mac users looking at browsers. It is free and installs in one Homebrew command. Vivaldi is the stronger choice if you are moving off Spark Premium. As of October 2026, both install with brew install --cask arc and brew install --cask vivaldi.

Vivaldi takes the August 2026 win for Mac users who want Arc-class organization without adopting a maintenance-mode browser. Arc remains usable for incumbents but is the wrong new install. Brave is the serious third option when default blocking and a simpler Chromium shell matter more than Vivaldi's workspace depth. If you searched Arc or Vivaldi, choose Vivaldi. If you searched Arc vs Vivaldi, use the matrix above and weight active development as a critical row. If you searched the three-way with Brave, shortlist Vivaldi for power-user layout control and Brave for privacy-default simplicity.

## Vivaldi

Web browser with built-in email client focusing on customization and control

Install: `brew install --cask vivaldi`

## Features

- **Active Development.** Vivaldi wins decisively. Active development is non-negotiable for modern browsers due to evolving web standards and security requirements. Arc's discontinued status makes it unsuitable for new adoption.
- **Tab Management.** Both excel at tab management but with different philosophies. Arc's auto-archiving suited minimalists; Vivaldi's manual control suits power users. Vivaldi's two-level tab stacks now surpass Arc's single-level organization.
- **Built-in Productivity Tools.** Vivaldi wins for users wanting an all-in-one workspace. While Arc's Easels were innovative, Vivaldi's practical tools (email, calendar, RSS) eliminate the need for multiple apps. Vivaldi is the browser for users who want their entire digital workspace in one window.
- **Customization.** Vivaldi dominates customization. While Arc offered a polished but opinionated interface, Vivaldi lets users design their ideal browsing experience. Users can replicate Arc's vertical layout or choose entirely different configurations.
- **Performance on Apple Silicon.** Vivaldi wins due to active optimization. Both browsers are Chromium-based and perform similarly, but Vivaldi's continued development means it will adapt to future macOS and hardware changes. Arc's frozen codebase will gradually degrade in performance relative to evolving web standards.
- **Privacy & Security.** Vivaldi wins decisively on privacy. Its business model doesn't depend on user data, and its built-in protections are robust. Arc's account requirement and corporate ownership (Atlassian) raise data handling questions that Vivaldi's independent structure avoids.
- **Extension Ecosystem.** Both browsers offer good Chrome extension compatibility with similar limitations around tab-management extensions. Vivaldi's additional native features reduce dependency on extensions, while Arc's unique UI caused more compatibility issues.
- **Cross-Platform Availability.** Vivaldi wins for users needing cross-platform consistency. Arc's macOS-centric approach left Windows and mobile users as second-class citizens. Vivaldi's broad platform support ensures your browser experience follows you across devices.

## FAQ

### Is Arc still worth installing if Vivaldi exists?

For new users, no. Arc is in maintenance mode with Chromium updates only. Vivaldi is actively developed, free, and covers Workspaces, vertical tabs, and heavy customization. Install Arc only if you must open an existing Arc-specific workflow temporarily.

### Why did The Browser Company discontinue Arc?

The Browser Company stated they were shifting resources to 'Dia,' a new AI-centric browser project they believe represents the future of browsing. In May 2025, they announced Arc would receive only maintenance updates for security and bug fixes. The company, acquired by Atlassian, decided Arc's specific vision, while innovative, didn't align with their future product strategy focused on AI integration. This left millions of Arc users searching for alternatives.

### Can I replicate Arc's vertical sidebar in Vivaldi?

Yes, Vivaldi can closely replicate Arc's vertical sidebar experience. Navigate to Settings > Tabs > Tab Bar Position and select 'Left' or 'Right' to enable vertical tabs. Enable Workspaces (Settings > Workspaces) to create separate browsing contexts similar to Arc's Spaces. Configure the side panel with your favorite tools for quick access. While Vivaldi's default interface is more traditional, its customization options allow former Arc users to create a familiar workflow.

### Does Vivaldi have auto-archiving tabs like Arc?

Vivaldi doesn't auto-delete tabs like Arc, but offers tab hibernation for memory management. Right-click any tab and select 'Hibernate Tab' to unload it from memory while keeping it in your tab bar. You can also hibernate background tabs automatically via settings. Unlike Arc's irreversible archiving, hibernated tabs can be reactivated instantly. For users who valued Arc's forced minimalism, Vivaldi offers similar memory benefits without data loss.

### Is Vivaldi really free? How do they make money?

Yes, Vivaldi is completely free with no premium tiers or paid features. The company generates revenue through partnerships like their integrated Proton VPN service (where they likely receive affiliate revenue from paid VPN subscriptions) and search engine referral agreements (when users search via the default search engines). Importantly, Vivaldi does not track users, sell data, or display advertising, making their business model privacy-aligned unlike many 'free' tech products.

### Which browser is best for Arc refugees in 2026?

For most Arc users, Vivaldi is the best alternative in 2026. It offers the closest feature parity with vertical tabs, workspaces, and extensive customization. Unlike other alternatives (Zen Browser, SigmaOS), Vivaldi has the backing of an established company with a sustainable business model, ensuring long-term development. It runs on all platforms (not just macOS), includes built-in productivity tools Arc lacked, and welcomes customization to match your preferred workflow.

### Does Vivaldi have collaborative features like Arc's Easels?

Vivaldi does not have a direct equivalent to Arc's Easel collaborative canvas feature. However, Vivaldi's web panels can embed external tools like FigJam, Miro, or Kosmik within the browser sidebar. For users who heavily relied on Easels for collaborative work, dedicated whiteboard tools accessed via web panel or separate apps remain necessary. Vivaldi's strength lies in integrated productivity (email, calendar, RSS) rather than collaborative canvas features.

### How do I migrate my Arc data to Vivaldi?

To migrate from Arc to Vivaldi: 1) Export bookmarks from Arc's Library and import via Vivaldi's Bookmarks menu. 2) Export passwords from Arc as CSV (if available) and import to Vivaldi's password manager. 3) Manually recreate your Spaces as Vivaldi Workspaces. 4) Configure Vivaldi's appearance to match Arc's aesthetic, enable vertical tabs, adjust sidebar position, and set theme colors. 5) Set up Vivaldi Mail if you want unified email. The migration requires manual configuration but most Arc workflows can be replicated within 1-2 weeks of adjustment.

### Is Vivaldi more private than Chrome or Edge?

Yes, Vivaldi is built to be more private than Chrome or Edge. It does not track users, build profiles, or sell data, and it ships with built in ad and tracker blocking so you do not need extra extensions for basic protection. The browser works from Iceland, which gives it a different legal privacy footing than US browser makers, and the team publishes clear privacy policies that describe what is collected and what is not. Its revenue comes from partnerships and search referrals rather than user data, which is the core difference from Chrome and Edge.

### What's the learning curve for former Arc users switching to Vivaldi?

The learning curve varies based on how deeply you customize. Out-of-the-box, Vivaldi resembles a traditional browser, which can feel jarring to Arc veterans. However, spending 30-60 minutes in Settings enables you to recreate much of Arc's experience: vertical tabs, workspace separation, and sidebar tools. The main adjustment is Vivaldi's flexibility versus Arc's opinionated design, you'll have choices Arc never offered, which can initially feel overwhelming. Most users report feeling comfortable after 1-2 weeks of daily use.

### Arc or Vivaldi: which should I use in 2026?

Vivaldi for any new setup. Arc only as a temporary profile while you export bookmarks, passwords, and Spaces notes. Maintenance-mode browsers are fine for a transition week; they are a poor primary browser for the next two years of web platform changes.

### Arc vs Vivaldi vs Brave: who wins?

Vivaldi wins Arc-like organization that is still shipping features. Brave wins simpler Chromium browsing with aggressive default blocking. Arc wins only for incumbents who already depend on Spaces/Boosts and accept a frozen product. New Mac users should shortlist Vivaldi and Brave, not Arc.

### What are the dealbreakers?

Arc dealbreakers: you need a living roadmap, or you cannot accept maintenance-mode risk. Vivaldi dealbreakers: you hate dense settings and want an opinionated minimal UI. Brave dealbreakers: you need Vivaldi-depth Workspaces, tab stacks, and built-in Mail/Calendar modules.

### Can Vivaldi replace Arc Spaces and Boosts?

Workspaces plus vertical tabs and tab stacks replace most Spaces habits. Boosts (site CSS tweaks) and Easels have no complete twin; use user styles, site settings, or a dedicated canvas app for those gaps. Plan an afternoon to rebuild the parts that mattered, not a five-minute import.

### Is Dia a drop-in Arc replacement?

No. Dia is The Browser Company's active product after Arc's maintenance-mode shift, and it targets a different AI-assisted browsing bet rather than recreating Spaces. If you loved Arc for organization, Vivaldi is the closer workflow match in 2026 than waiting for Dia to become Arc.

However, spending 30-60 minutes in Settings enables you to recreate much of Arc's experience: vertical tabs, workspace separation, and sidebar tools. The main adjustment is Vivaldi's flexibility versus Arc's opinionated design, you'll have choices Arc never offered, which can initially feel overwhelming. Most users report feeling comfortable after 1-2 weeks of daily use."
