Arc browser

Launched in 2022 by the Browser Company, a company founded by former Facebook employees Josh Miller and Hursh Agrawal, Arc Browser is a Chromium-based web browser that aims to change how a traditional browser works. 
Since it is based on Google's open-source code, users can import all their existing bookmarks, extensions, login information, and more, from other browsers. But that's just a basic understanding of it. 
It is not until you take a look at its features, that you realize just how interesting it is.

Arc browser features
Arc Browser has a wholly different UI compared to its peers. 
It features a vertical tab bar that allows users to see a large number of tabs comfortably. 
It transforms your bookmarks and tabs and brings them into an app launcher-like UI. 
There is also an option to create Spaces for various categories or tasks where you can store related tabs. You can also have different accounts, 6 pinned pages, and more in each Space. 
Arc browser also allows you to save up to 8 tabs as favorites.

The Arc Browser allows you to view multiple tabs at once in a split-screen which can increase productivity, and come in handy in situations where you need to access the contents of two different web pages simultaneously. 
Interestingly, it comes with built-in tools like whiteboard and notes, something which you can only access with extensions on traditional Chromium-based browsers.

With a new feature called Boost, you can even change the way websites look. 
You can change elements from websites such as layout, background, colour, font, and brightness of web pages. you can even remove items using the Zap tool. It is basically ?editing the internet?, according to the Browser Company.

If you're used to opening a plethora of tabs at once, closing them becomes a hassle. 
Arc Browser does this work for you as it automatically closes tabs every 12 hours. 
You can choose to save tabs by pinning them. 
It also features a built-in command bar through which you can execute multiple commands such as toggling extensions, opening/closing tabs, and more by just pressing the command key along with the designated number key.

Due to its vastly different UI from other Chromium-based browsers, Arc Browser requires a bit of learning, but it can become an organizer's dream once you get accustomed to it.

Private
Ask AI any questions without fear of judgement because the data never leaves your device. Nothing is more private than running Al locally on your own device.

Unveiling the Cybervolunteer Program of The Ministry of Home Affairs, India
---

The digital age quite literally offers an incredible repository of opportunities, offering new channels to connect and protecting our virtual engagements. Enshrining this idea, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India has introduced the Cybervolunteer program (https://cybervolunteer.mha.gov.in). It's a program that invites civilians to participate actively in fortifying the country's cybersecurity framework. This article is an exploration into what this program is all about and how it's becoming a beacon for cybersecurity in India.

### Understanding the Cybervolunteer Program

Launched under the aegis of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), MHA, the Cybervolunteer program is a pioneering step aimed to increase citizen participation in cybercrime awareness, detection, and prevention. Joining the program, as a Cybervolunteer, one can contribute by reporting illegal/unlawful content encountered on the internet.

This citizen-friendly initiative is serving as a bridge between the masses and the cybersecurity world, bringing higher transparency, increasing awareness of cybersecurity, and reducing cyber threats.

### Who can participate?

The Cybervolunteer program invites participation from all across India, from every walk of life, including students, professionals, cybersecurity experts, and anyone interested in contributing to the cybersecurity landscape in India. The program promotes citizens' engagement and paves the way for a safer digitized India.

### How does it work?

On the official website (https://cybervolunteer.mha.gov.in), interested individuals can join as a Cybervolunteer by registering themselves. Post-registration, a volunteer can report unlawful content on the internet in four defined categories: against national security, against safety of children, against women safety, and other cybercrimes.

The platform maintains a strict privacy policy, keeping the identity of the volunteers absolutely anonymous. Therefore, they can report any illegal activities they come across on the internet without the fear of their identity being disclosed. In addition, the platform ensures all reports are verified by a group of trained professionals before any action is taken.

### Importance of the Program

With the growing reliance on digital mediums, cybersecurity has become an essential concern for nations around the globe. The launch of the Cybervolunteer program is a testament to the commitment of the Government of India to leave no stone unturned in safeguarding the cyber realm.

By facilitating citizens' direct participation in combating cybercrime, this initiative not only strengthens the digital immunity of the country but also empowers the public. It highlights the importance of public participation in maintaining cybersecurity.

### Concluding Thoughts

The Cybervolunteer program from the Ministry of Home Affairs is truly a giant leap forward in incorporating citizens in the national cybersecurity front. This initiative sends out a strong message of unity, underlining the significance of every citizen's role in protecting the nation against the rising tide of cybercrimes.

This platform is a shining example of the government's trust in its people, showing faith in their integrity and their will to make the internet a safer place for one and all. By making every individual a stakeholder, the Cybervolunteer program indeed gears up India in the run to create a safer and secure cyber environment.
