Arc Browser Adds Support for Windows on ARM Devices

During this presentation, the company also announced that several new applications would soon be available natively on Windows. Among these applications is the Arc browser—a distinctive alternative to popular options like Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Windows on ARM users can now access an ARM-specific version of Arc.

As of today, Arc can be installed on any ARM devices you own, and you can also share it with friends using Windows ARM by directing them to the Download Arc for Windows button at arc.net.
