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 (Bite-size Article)
Arc is a relatively new web browser developed by the startup company called The Browser Company, and released in 2022. Arc aims to function as the operating system for the web, integrating web browsing with built-in applications and features. Many of its functions and design elements are innovative. - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago
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 checked out Arc Browser? [0] It's pretty opinionated. "Archives" tabs after a pre-set amount of time, uses pinned vertical tabs instead of bookmarks… [0] https://arc.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months 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
Anyone knows what browser this is where you can reduce a browser to it's edges? I thought it was sidekick but apparently not.
This is Arc Browser. Highly recommend giving it a shot. Source: 6 months ago
