Arc Sidebar

About

Arc Sidebar brings the best organizational ideas from Arc Browser into Chrome — without leaving Chrome behind.

Open the side panel with Cmd+E (or Ctrl+E on Windows/Linux) and you get:

▸ Switchable Spaces — Work, Personal, Research, anything you want, each with its own color and icon
▸ Pinned Tabs strip — an Arc-style icon strip at the top of each Space for the sites you reach for most; shows which pinned tab is open, which is the current tab, and a “/” when a tab has drifted from its pinned URL (click to return)
▸ Nested folders — unlimited depth, drag-and-drop reorder
▸ Tabs scoped to Spaces — open tabs belong to a Space; move tabs between Spaces; new tabs adopt the active Space
▸ Tab-bookmark linking — clicking a bookmark focuses the tab that already has it open
▸ Global search (⌘K / Ctrl+K) — a command palette that searches bookmarks, pinned tabs, folders across ALL Spaces, plus your open tabs; Enter jumps straight to the result
▸ Now Playing controls — for any tab playing audio or video (across all Spaces): play/pause, volume, next/previous track, and pop-out picture-in-picture
▸ Back / Forward / Reload toolbar for the active tab
▸ Import Chrome bookmarks — turn any folder in your Chrome bookmarks into a new Space
▸ Sync backup — optionally mirror your whole library into a hidden bookmark so Chrome Sync carries it across your own devices
▸ Recently closed — reopen tabs you just closed
▸ Density control — Compact, Normal, or Comfortable
▸ Right-click context menus, keyboard shortcuts, and JSON Export/Import of your whole library
