Developer Creates Chrome Extension to Restore Arc Browser's Tab Organization Features After Arc Enters Maintenance Mode
A developer built Leap, a Chrome extension that replicates the core UX of the Arc browser—specifically its Spaces with per-space tab sets and vertical tabs with pinned sites—as a standalone add-on. This move came after Arc entered maintenance mode, and the creator wanted to preserve its workflow without switching to another forked browser. The extension brings Arc's signature organization features, like a fixed 9-color palette for Spaces and drag-to-reorder tabs, directly into Chrome, allowing users to keep their primary browser while gaining better tab management.
