I loved Arc so much when it came out. I had been using vertical tabs on Firefox for years, via the treestyle tabs extension. But Arc felt like a breath of fresh air in 2022. Native vertical tabs. Air Traffic Control to open specific links in specific profiles. Swish UI. Unfortunately it's yet another Chromium-based browser, and I hated to make Firefox lose another user to Google's web engine. But at the time, that was a sacrifice I was willing to make to experience a "better Internet" or whatever.

But I'm done with it. It's been death by a thousand cuts. I'm going to spend quite a long time explaining all my annoyances with Arc, and link to a few guides on switching back to Firefox.

Air Traffic Control was great initially. Links matching Jira/Github etc were configured to open automatically in my work profile. I kinda wished manually configured URLs like that would open in a little Arc window, but instead they'd bring me to the main window. No big deal I guess. But anything not manually configured would

Import Arc history in Firefox

No good reason why this had to be so tricky:

  • Install Export Chrome History extension in Arc
  • Export history to JSON. Choosing the forever option does actually export ALL the history in Arc
  • Install History Export for firefox
  • Optional: Export Firefox history, to see what the json looks like
  • Make the Arc history match what firefox expects. I used this javascript to convert it:
arcHistory.map(item =&gt; {

Scans a linux directory, subdirectories & files, and creates a tiddlywiki. Each folder & file becomes a hyperlinked tiddler. Makes it easy to browse and search a file system, and share the listings with others.
