ArcEscape — Browser Migration Helper

Moves Arc users' workflow habits to any browser

Problem

Arc browser is being deprecated, forcing heavy users to find alternatives—but Arc's signature features (Ctrl+Tab window switching, Peek preview, etc.) don't work on other browsers. Some users have already built plugins to replicate parts of the experience, showing this is a widespread and urgent migration pain point.

Solution

A cross-browser extension that recreates Arc's most-used interactions on Chrome/Edge/Firefox: Ctrl+Tab recent-window highlight switching, Shift+click link Peek preview, sidebar workspaces, and more. It also provides a one-click importer for Arc bookmarks, pinned tabs, and spaces to reduce migration friction.

Users

Former Arc power users migrating to Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or other browsers—developers, designers, and productivity enthusiasts

MVP

Implement Ctrl+Tab recent-window highlight switching (handle shortcut conflicts); implement Shift+click link Peek preview; provide an import wizard for Arc bookmarks and pinned tabs; package extensions for Chrome and Edge; basic settings panel to toggle each feature

Revenue

Free core features plus a paid pro version (workspace sync, custom themes); one-time purchase or low-cost annual subscription; cross-promotion with productivity tools

Why now

Arc's deprecation is triggering a mass migration wave and users are actively seeking alternatives; existing replica plugins are limited and fragmented, so an indie developer can quickly assemble a complete migration suite
