Why just browse the internet when you can create it? Arc includes some fun but powerful tools that make publishing ideas to the web, building custom dashboards, or even tweaking the colors and layouts of your favorite websites simple. Well, maybe not that last part (unless you’re a web developer!), but you’ll get the idea.
Easels
Easel is a new kind of canvas, made right in your browser.
It’s a place to save everything you find online, but also a great way to brainstorm, mood-board, collect inspiration, or even write stories. You can keep them private, collaborate with friends, or share them with the world.
Just click Capture in the URL bar to clip bits and pieces of your internet to an Easel. Each clip links back to where you found it, like in this Easel from Kristina on our team.
To create an Easel:

Live Capture
This one is magic. Capture part of a webpage, add it to an Easel, and interact with the webpage live right in the Easel. We like to use live capture to stay up to date on concerts coming up, stocks, dashboards, and more.
To add a live capture:

Boosts
We believe in a web that is truly wide open — where you can write, edit, and create the web as you go. Boosts are a really early experiment reimagining the extension developer experience as 10x easier, faster, and more enjoyable to use — right in Arc. Watch this video to learn more!
