Browser Actions uses JavaScript to get web page details on your behalf. To do this, it utilizes a developer feature in your browser that must first be enabled.

• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Vivaldi

Arc:

View → Developer → Allow Javascript from Apple Events

I know, but Arc will not be supported at launch. Its AppleScript capabilities differ a lot from the other browsers, and it’ll have to wait, I’m afraid.

Ah ok Oh well - I’m using a mix of browsers right now anyway.
