Add Arc browser data in Timeline > Browser tab

[cktang88]

Currently /activity/Mac/view/browser will not display Arc browser data, despite that data already appearing in the /#/timeline tab. This fixes the issue.

We fix this by just pushing all the Arc browser data to the chrome bucket for purposes of visualization. While not a perfect solution, it is an easy one, and far superior to not displaying that data at all.

This issue is known:

fixes ActivityWatch/activitywatch#1094

This fix can be extended to support Brave/Vivaldi/etc, without relying on custom browser identification hacks. The tradeoff (obviously) is that all browsers' data based on chromium gets merged I guess.

@ErikBjare if you have time would love a quick look :)

• Draft comment:
  The logic for finding the Chrome bucket for Arc browser can be simplified by directly checking for 'arc' in the bucket_id. This avoids the need for a separate chrome_bucket variable.
• Reason this comment was not posted:
  Confidence changes required: 50%
  The code correctly identifies Arc browser using Chrome's bucket, but the logic can be simplified.

Nice workaround, but it has potential problems if the user is using both Chrome and Arc. A better approach would be for the user to select their web browser in the web watcher if their browser isn't one of the mainstream/easily detectable ones.
