I'm back on the Arc browser, which is mostly great, but I've noticed it doesn't do paint holding (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/paint-holding). Every other browser nowadays will hold same-origin navigations to prevent a flicker on navigation on static sites, but oddly Arc flashes the background color.

I filed a bug – for a UX nit in a deprecated browser, so it will likely go unfixed. But Atlassian’s CEO uses Arc as far as I can tell? So who knows

@apike I recently discovered Zen Browser, a straight up clone of Arc that is based on Firefox: https://zen-browser.app/download/

Might be worth a look, though obviously the “based on Firefox” part might cause some issues.
