We looked into supporting Arc at work, unfortunately Arc is missing lots of basic security controls which are available in many other Chromium and non-Chromium browsers, these include:

+ The ability to enforce automatic updates + Ability to control which sites extensions/boots are installed on

On top of this there seems to be no way to remove the requirement to have an account to use the browser, selectively choose what data is sent/sync'd from Arc, or disable basic features like Easel through which staff accidentally leak data.

The UI for the browser is great, but Arc really needs to lay the groundwork for strong security controls or it'll struggle to gain (or even maintain) a foothold in the enterprise space.
