About

A native Mac browser for people leaving Arc, with the sidebar and spaces you're used to. Built on WebKit, not Chromium, and that's the point: the whole app is 18 MB (Arc is 871). Switching takes a minute. One import brings over everything, so you're already logged in. Colored spaces you swipe between, split view, peek, Chrome extensions like 1Password and Tampermonkey, and ad blocking built-in Open source, no account, no AI. Nobody can shut it down.

AI Summary

Zigzag Browser is a lightweight, open-source Mac browser designed for users transitioning from Arc, featuring a familiar sidebar and spaces. Built on WebKit, it offers a range of functionalities including split view, ad blocking, and compatibility with Chrome extensions, all while maintaining a small file size of 18 MB.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
