Arc Browser #76
Comments
Arc is weird, and seems to have only fully bound the notion of launching a url via the "CWA Protocol Association Execute Command" [as bound in a but after objectively more hours than it was worth, I discovered/verified that it will also end up working if one calls with fundamentally this is all .NET stuff, I gather (its not my area of expertise), so it should be not hard to implement directly if one is so inclined, but as shared in U-C-S/Hurl#100 (comment) - I managed to force into PowerShell and then that PowerShell script inside a I don't per se have a solution for the icon, but if you were inclined to do one of them "batch to exe" convertors, you could then probably just set the icon on that. |
Commenting just to have this thread on my watchlist. I'm also interest in Arc support. |
Still can't install it (I'm usually testing new browsers in Windows Sandbox). It seems Arc is only available for Windows 11? |
You're totally right, current version of Arc are only Windows 11 exclusively, they seem to be working on Windows 10 version of it. https://resources.arc.net/hc/en-us/articles/19400148671383-Unsupported-Devices Is this a major issue to recognize it as a browser? |
@arendon1 Honestly I don't know because I can't even install it on Widnows 11 (see error above). |
Actually, I don't have any problem installing it, if you want, I can provide you a remote control to a fresh Windows 11 today or this weekend so you can do your testing and updates… Please let me know if you are interested and what remote control software do you want to use (RustDesk, AnyDesk, Teamviewer, Parsec) |
I have not tried this myself, but there's a workaround for a similar tool here U-C-S/Hurl#100 (comment) |
@neoOpus I appreciate the offer, but it seems Arc haven't figured a way to create a way to install it. I've seen reddit comments people suggesting modifying their installer, installing custom certificates, setting up Windows Store correctly, enabling developer mode and so on which seems like a terrible way to support this. Until Arc supports all current Windows versions and not a specific edition of Windows 11 with custom configuration it's a no go for me. |
I was thinking it might be possible to open a URL via a browser extension. Also the browser would have to be opened if it's not running. For now I find it easier to just have my default browser as Arc, and use the BT extension to open links in Firefox in 1 click. |

There is a solution for that through the BT chrome extension available in the Chrome store or linked on the webpage created by Ivan @aloneguid. This extension enables you to right-click on the link and select the option from the context menu to open it in BT (app), which will then suggest the browsers you have installed to choose from. |
Yes, that's what I'm using :) it's very useful. I mostly use it by clicking on the extension icon to reopen the current tab. |
There are other extensions that can do the same thing like these
https://webextension.org/listing/open-in.html
You pick the one you just need but you can opt to configure General Purpose
But please next time open another discussion if your request is unrelated

Seems like Arc will be coming to windows 10, and I think this might make it a normal recognisable browser for all windows versions. See https://browserco.typeform.com/to/k37wtsev?typeform-source=arc.net#source=download |
@donaldguy I have solved the issue of opening links in Arc via UWP API in Windows, so it's coming along. What's left is detecting whether Arc is installed. |
Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Windows machine, so I won't be able to investigate anything personally. Additionally, the profile is likely behind a random naming scheme for security reasons. However, the Arc team may be able to provide a way for you to access the information you need. Do you need me to contact Arc on your behalf? |
No worries @neoOpus thanks, I found it, and it's under What I've got left is passing an argument to Arc which it seems to ignore at the moment. It's not UWP issue as I can do it now for Firefox MSSTORE version. |
I think this part of the path "ttt1ap7aakyb4" is random and changes from one user to another which could be a problem but if the field can be edited then anyone can use the appropriate path by looking in their folders tree |
This is really interesting. Arc does not open URL even if it's the default browser for me. |
It's now released in 4.0.1, please try. |
These are amazing news! tysm for your hard work Ivan! |
The arc browser icon disappeared for me on browser after I updated the arc browser. |
Can confirm prev commenter case. After Arc's update had to refresh the browser discovery on bt. |
I can confirm this as well, rediscover does fix it, but that's not ideal. Issue is that on update msstore apps will change the folder name where they are installed, so I need to handle this as well, should be fixed soon. |
Please add this New Browser to the detection list
Arc
When I attempt to add it manually, the icon isn't picked up because this browser installs as a WindowsApp (UWP), and since customizing browser icons isn't possible (a feature that would be great to have for every browser and profile), it appears as shown in this screen capture.
Note: Ignore the icons for other browsers, as they're not visible since I haven't reinstalled them yet.
