    If Zen isn't inspired by Arc, it's certainly aiming for the same design philosophy. Firefox-based, and doesn't require you to log in just to open the browser.

    Pretty similar to Arc, but open source, based on Firefox, and privacy-focused.

    Although Arc has a nice design, Brave can get just as good after going through the settings (turn on sidebar tabs etc.) while also still having the truckload of features.
