Tried zen browser but it just doesn't feel as slick as arc :/ I hate to be using a browser that feels like its in "maintenance mode", but its just not quite there. If arc falls apart then I'll probably be winding up back on Chrome.

Claude at the moment is by farm and away the most useful general-purpose LLM imo. Answers equally or more correctly as something like gpt o1, at the speed of basic gpt 4o. The real magic is the way it formulates answers though. Explanations feel much more natural and less verbose than 4o / o1.
