Dia AI Browser Integrates Arc Features Post Atlassian Acquisition

The Browser Company, now owned by Atlassian, is evolving its AI-powered browser Dia by integrating popular features from its predecessor, Arc. Dia incorporates Arc’s "greatest hits," such as sidebar mode, pinned tabs, a Command Bar, and picture-in-picture for Google Meet, while adding AI-native capabilities like memory and agents to streamline browsing and multitasking. Arc, originally launched in 2023, was praised for its innovative approach but criticized for complexity, leading to its phase-out in favor of Dia’s superior architecture focused on AI, speed, and security. The transition aims to retain Arc’s best elements while addressing prior usability challenges, with ongoing development toward deeper Atlassian app integrations. The Browser Company hopes this approach will attract Arc users back, improving adoption by blending familiar features with AI-driven enhancements in a less cluttered, smarter browsing experience. Feedback is encouraged to refine features such as swipe-enabled profiles and mobile app search improvements.
