While custom sizes can only be done with Moom, the predefined window sizes are provided by Magnet and Spectacle out of the box, but can also be configured manually with Moom. It’s also possible to assign keyboard shortcuts. So, in this case, if you want all the features, Moom can do them all.

Arc Browser is a game changer!
After using Chrome for around 8 years I switched to Arc browser & I love it! Arc browser is based on Chromium which means you can use Chrome's extensions in Arc without a problem. Currently, it's available for Mac & Windows 11 (hot released). It's faster, more beautiful, and user-friendly & also if you're new to Arc it's easy to migrate to Arc from other browsers such as Chrome with just one click. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

Have you tried the Arc browser?
I have no affiliation with Arc, but I've been experimenting with it, and I'm quite pleased. I've known about it for a while but did not feel like trying it too early on before it worked out some kinks. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
