Hey folks! I'm on the hunt for a new web browser to ditch Chrome due to privacy and performance issues. I recently came across the Arc Browser, but it looks like it's not available for Linux, and it doesn't seem to be on their plans anytime soon. I've checked for workarounds, but no luck, even with Wine. I'm considering Firefox, but I'm not a huge fan of its dated design, especially with all the recent controversies surrounding it. As someone new to Linux, I'd love your suggestions for a browser that combines Arc's sleek design with the ability to easily import profiles and passwords, as I'm still transitioning away from Google. What do you recommend?

If you're looking for something similar to Arc, I’d check out Brave. It has a clean interface and great privacy features. I also found Zen Browser, which appears to be open source and has a design reminiscent of Arc!
Honestly, your choices are pretty much limited to Firefox or Chromium-based ones. I personally use Firefox because it just works for me, but if you need something more focused on privacy, give LibreWolf a shot!
I'd suggest trying out LibreWolf or Mullvad for more private browsing, and using Brave for sites you log into. This combo keeps things secure while allowing you to use a familiar interface.
Vivaldi could also be a good fit! It offers a ton of customization options and supports lots of extensions. Plus, it's not tied to Google, which is a major plus.
I tried accessing their website, but I got a 503 error. Is it down for you too?
Zen is pretty cool! It's a fork of Firefox, which is a bonus.
