Arc browser comes to the iPhone as a stripped-down, AI-powered search tool

Arc's first proper browser app for the iPhone leans heavily into AI-generated search summaries and a minimalist design.

And rather than just serving up simple search results from Google or your engine of choice, Arc scans the internet for various sources and creates a "page for me" that pulls together a bunch of info on your desired query. And there's a nice "reader" mode like you'll find in Safari that strips away the mess found on many modern websites to make it easier to read an article. That said, the Browser Company likes to get things into the wild so its users can test them and prod them and figure out what isn't working, so I'm sure iteration and improvements will come quickly.
