The Arc browser has reportedly received a new tool called Boosts. The new tool allows users to customize a site using new fonts and colors and zap (remove) any component, such as a sidebar or a topic box, from there. Drain Fisher, the Chrome co-creator with Victoria Kirst spearheaded Boosts.
The Browser Company rolled out the feature in July 2022 and called it a way to edit the Internet.
The new tool allows developers to set down a web browser extension through JavaScript. However, the newly released version of Boosts has end-user-friendly characteristics with a considerable focus on the customization of the web pages.
Use of BoostsÂ
Users with the Arc browser installed on their desktop or mobile can enjoy Boosts. To use the new tool, open the Arc browser, choose the Plus sign at the bottom of the screen, and then tap Create New Boost. You can change the font color and background using the advanced controls for original saturation, contrast, and brightness from the Boosts toolbars. It also lets you choose your desired text font to get a new look for the web page.
Creating a boost will enable you to see a paintbrush icon in the address bar and enable or disable it as per your choice. Apart from other features, the Zap tool of Boosts seems to be the best part of the new tool that allows users to remove numerous components from a web page. For example, some users might not want to view vertical videos on their desktops. The Arc browser will let you remove YouTube’s Shorts section. Likewise, they can remove the user suggestion box from Twitter if they find it useless.
Features of BoostsÂ
Arc browser’s developers have made it easy for users to share their created boosts with others. The Browse company has rolled out a Boosts gallery to let you see the edited web pages created by other users. The Get Boost option in the new tool allows you to tap on any of the available designs and apply it on the site.
The Boosts gallery comprises some exciting options for a fun-filled web experience. For example, a Boosts gallery option can turn Instagram into an ordinary home feed with no bells and whistles. Similarly, another tool provides Slack with an elegant look via serif text fonts. Likewise, developers can add JavaScript to their Boost, though they can share it with others, given security reasons.
Customizing a webpage tends to be a fun-filled and exciting experience. It becomes even more attractive when you can remove a website’s elements that you do not like. Google also launched some customization tools for its Chrome, letting users apply numerous colors and themes to the browser. While the Browser Company has brought the customization to the next level, it is still in the invite-only mode. In April, the company rolled out an iPhone-compatible app for the Arc browser to make saving different pages in diverse workspaces and accessing them from the desktop anytime easy.
