However, the company is unsure if they have found the right balance with these features. Therefore, they are launching the Arc Max features for a 30-day trial period, during which users can vote on which features to keep. The features will be opt-in to respect user privacy and to avoid the discomfort of being watched by AI. The company hopes that these features will change the way people use the internet, but acknowledges that the impact of AI on online life is still uncertain.
Key takeaways:
- The Browser Company, makers of the Arc browser, have been experimenting with AI integration, resulting in over two dozen prototypes.
- Five AI-powered features, collectively called Arc Max, have been chosen for release. These include Ask ChatGPT, Tidy Tab Titles, Tidy Downloads, Five-Second Previews, and Ask on Page.
- The Arc Max features are designed to make internet browsing easier and less time-consuming, rather than adding more complexity or information.
- These features will be live for 30 days, during which users can vote on which ones to keep. The features are all opt-in, and users are informed that using AI requires sending some data to the models' owners.
