Arclight Vertical Tabs

Arclight makes Chrome tabs beautiful.

A stunning, forward-thinking sidebar helps you quickly see and organize tabs. On-device AI auto-names your windows in realtime, and notices when a new tab should be in a different window.

Inspired by the Arc Browser, Arclight is the sidebar Chrome should have shipped with.

Provides a vertical tabs sidebar for browsing organization, including tab switching, grouping, favorites, and pinned tabs.
