This is what UserStyles were missing — an easy-to-use visual editor to "ZAP ⚡" elements on a page, change the visual style, and then share your creations with the world!
Would love to see more powerful additions to Boosts — that are programmatic in nature — but I understand that there are bountiful security concerns when building in the browser space.
Still... one can dream!

Ohhh the Zap element feature looks amazing! I could see customizing a complex website and reducing it to a simple version to send to an older family member! Great work team, can't wait to use this!
Boosts are the reason I switched from Chrome to Arc in the first place, almost one year ago.
I haven't looked back since.
If you own a Mac, do yourself a favour and give Arc and its boosts a shot.
What’s left to say about Arc that’s not, ultimately, superfluous? This gang don’t miss, and each feature release feels like like it arrives from a kindred spirit, who likes the Internet the same way you like the Internet.
That Boosts existed in the first place was always a small miracle, but Boosts 2.0 feels like a gift by a team, who knows what it feels like to discover the style sheets in MySpace, and losing the rest of your weekend feeling drunk on power molding the Internet in to your own specific taste.
I gave Arc a shot, but I couldn't figure out how to customize it with all the keyboard shortcuts I'm used to in Chrome. My muscle memory just couldn't get on board with the new shortcuts, so I sadly had to switch back to Chrome because of this.
