Arc is a wonderful browser that has become my daily driver thanks to its fresh take on how we use the web, but up until today there was one feature from Chrome that I missed the most - site search. What is site search? Site search gives you an easy way to directly search any website. Just open the command bar with CMD+T then type the shortcut for the site you want to search followed by tab (or space - this can be configured in site search settings) and then the word or phrase you want to search.
Arc is a web browser on macOS that challenges the paradigm of what we expect a web browser to be. When tabs were introduced to browsers it was a welcome change, but since that first introduction I haven’t tried anything that revolutionizes the tabbed experience quite like Arc. So when the Arc Mobile Companion was released on the iOS App Store yesterday there was a lot of excitement for it, but despite their best efforts to label it as a “companion” app there was a lot of chatter expressing disappointment and asking questions.
Came across a Facebook phishing attempt that I'm sure is pretty common, but I wanted to share some of the details of this iteration since the exact details are constantly evolving. The blinders that go up when you're in a panic can make it easy for anyone to fall into these scams.

Phishing attempts are sadly common thanks to one of the weakest links in computer security – the user. Unfortunately it can be easy for anyone to click a link while in a panic or on autopilot, but it’s important to pay close attention to any links asking for information or claiming to be some important notification. Never give out sensitive details unless you can confirm the site or person asking for them is who they say they are, and be careful before opening any files from the internet.
