What Are Alternative Web Browsers?
I found two gems:SigmaOS(Mac only) andArc(Windows and Mac).
Why I Need an Alternative Web online window
I am a disorganized person.
To make matters worse, I am a disorganized person with concentration and fatigue issues.
Unfortunately, I do need to use the internet for workchances are you do too.
I would launch different instances of Safari and venture to keep tabs on my progress that way.
While there are somegreat task management appsout there, I still needed to actuallydothe task.
Both browsers boast a sleek, modern aesthetic that makes using them an enjoyable experience from the get-go.
Their approaches to organization prioritize slightly different things, and thats where the browsers differ most significantly.
Ill dive into how I use both of them to work more effectively.
The key feature of SigmaOS is its “workspaces.”
These are sections that sit in the left-hand menu that you assign an emoji to.
To create a workspace, simply snag the plus icon.
Completing tasks (press “D” on your keyboard) is satisfying and boosts that feeling of productivity.
SigmaOS has many of these shortcuts, which makes using the internet tool a breeze.
Another of SigmaOS’s impressive features is its so-called “lazy search”, accessed through the spacebar.
you could even use it to start a new tweet, Google Doc, Excel spreadsheet, and more.
Outside these features, SigmaOS is remarkably simple.
Plus, it benefits from weekly updates and an active developer community that regularly responds to feedback.
It’s become my go-to online window for work.
Where SigmaOS is all about efficiency, Arc is about creativity.
To create a new space, smack the plus symbol in the bottom-left.
These are essentially bookmarks, viewable across all spaces.
Within a space, you’re able to use folders to contain your web client tabs.
This makes the spaces feel more like individual internet tool instances, compared to SigmaOS.
I admit, I found the layout confusing initially, and needed to refer to the start-up guide frequently.
However, once familiar, creating a space in Arc is a very personalized experience.
Though if you’re easily distracted like me, this level of customization can be a double-edged sword.
If you are a visual thinker, I cannot recommend Arc enough.
I find this invaluable when planning things like meetings, presentations, or even just researching for a project.
SigmaOS vs. Arc: Which Should You Use?
Ultimately, what you end up choosing comes down to personal preference.
Arc, on the other hand, is a very enjoyable browsing experience overall.
