Arc's mobile browser is now available to everyone on Android

After an open beta that rolled out last month, Arc Search is now available to all Android users. The Browser Company's search engine -- which describes itself as "the fastest way to search" -- has been positioning itself as a better alternative to Chrome.

Arc Search not only blocks ads but also has an AI feature called "browse for me" that summarizes search results. In a September Decoder interview, Browser Company CEO Josh Miller described Arc as a laptop-first search engine, but the company is clearly leaning in to mobile.

Over 100,000 Android users participated in the Arc beta, according to a press release. Arc says it's fixed some of the issues that bothered users most during the beta test -- as a result, the browser now has full support for Android 12, a voice search feature, landscape mode, and a cleaned-up incognito mode.

The Android launch is part of Arc's larger transition to mobile search. The Browser Company initially released Arc as a Mac-only desktop browser, and launched a mobile version for iOS devices in January. Arc was released for Windows in April.
