Prompt for version downgrade

Prompt for version downgrade

I keep getting prompted to update, and it's to an older version. If I click on 'install and relaunch', I will get a new error saying I'm not allowed to downgrade to an older version, and I have to reinstall the newer version manually.

I've repeated this cycle twice now and it's never ending. My solution is to just click 'remind me later' but surely there's a better way?

A note of appreciation from an exclusive Arc user (Please don't abandon this UI!)

I absolutely love and rely on the Arc browser. I use it almost exclusively now, and it has completely transformed my daily Mac OS workflow.

As you shift focus toward Dia, I want to emphasize how invaluable Arc’s unique user interface is to me. Specifically, features like vertical Spaces, smooth swiping, the command bar, Split Views, and Peek make it an unmatched tool for productivity.

I plan to stick with Arc for as long as it is supported, and I truly hope that the new combined company will consider re-supporting or integrating Arc's unparalleled window-management UI in the future.

Arc bowser storage and ram issues

basically I’m having issue with my MacBook 8gb ram and basic storage. ARC consumes all of the available ram and it takes more than 10gb ram in library and other files.

on iPhone it takes 2gb storage as well.

I can see Safari doesn’t do that. but I don’t like Safari and I’m holding myself from moving away.

any tips and tricks? or did you just move away?

I like the keyboard shortcuts ,the profiles ,the side bar the sneak view preview, the tab switching and so many other things there. I like on iOS the quick search and UI

I asked for a copy of my data, they sent it and then deleted my account

A few months ago, I decided to request my data under Article 15 of GDPR, wanting to see what TBC tracks, as I was curious about how privacy-friendly their products actually were.

Here is a timeline of what happened:

  • On December 22nd, 2025, I submitted a request to access all of my stored data under GDPR (The agent confirmation email unfortunately got lost, but I'm currently in the process of recovering it, see the screenshot in the 3rd image.)
  • Between December 23rd, 2025, and January 5th, 2026, I received two requests to reply to an email to confirm the account was owned by me.
  • On December 23rd, 2025 -January 5th, 2026, I received my data
  • On January 7th, 2026, they permanently deleted my account

As you may notice, the staff was not organized at all. They asked me twice for email verification and replied with a Dia related address (support@diabrowser.zendesk.com) to an Arc issue.

Also, keep in mind that at the time of receiving that email Dia supported automatic GDPR requests where no room for human error existed, while Arc still used the old manual way.

I understand that this can happen accidentally but this has happened over 2 times now and the team isn't doing anything to fix it. (Post 1Post 2)

If anyone is wondering, yes, I will proceed to file a complaint with my country's Data Protection Authority. I most likely won't get my data back but this will make them improve their shitty practices and prevent this from happening to more users.

If any moderator can reach out to a staff member who can comment, please do so, since they have a tendency to never answer user emails.

Spaces switching click not correct on macOS 27 Beta

I am on macOS Golden Gate 27 Beta.

When I want to switch spaces by clicking the space selector row, I have to click the top portion of the space button. Clicking in the middle does nothing.

See the attached video.

Anyone else seeing this?

Windows Alternative?

So I'm not here to hate on Arc. For my personal and work MacBook it works great.

The problem is on my PC it's complete garbage and tipping from bordering on useless to actually completely useless. Scrolling on Google sheets breaks, web pages hang, new windows lag and the worst of all is that button clicks fail to register all the time.

My problem is that I am so reliant on how they handle tabs in the side bar, it's damn near perfect.

Are there any other browsers that handle tabs / "favourites" in the same way? I just can't keep on with Arc on Windows if there's no development even though I keep getting "arc updated" pop-ups all the time, it's killing productivity for me.

Not sure how to call these, but often these "tab labels" will randomly appear on the screen, blocking elements, and then randomly go away.

As mentioned in the title, for a while now these tab labels will randomly appear and I find them extremely annoying, especially since I don't know how to get rid of them once they appear. They stay when I change the page, when I scroll, then I change spaces, and even when I minimize and bring back the window.

Does anyone have a fix? Thanks in advance!
