Zen browser is very promising as a hopefully long-lived alternative to Arc with essentially the same design. It’s missing a few important features (like folders, which should be coming any week now), but overall it performs more smoothly than Arc on windows. Though I’m still using Arc for work on my Mac (for now).

Dia is an “AI native browser,” and the Arc CEO said that browsers are going to be killed by AI chat. So if you want to get real work done, Dia is probably not going to be an option.

Seconding that Zen has been an amazing Arc replacement for those happy with Firefox based browser. The only challenge is daily driving both Zen and Zed as a code editor is a pain when it comes to macOS spotlight (/raycast).

might not meet your needs but I had similar issues and found an app called rcmd, it lets me easily bind keybinds to my commonly used apps, and you can also easily toggle between multiple windows of the same app via the keyboard
