The Browser Company's CEO Josh Miller said that his company will operate independently under Atlassian and will continue to develop Dia, the browser it started working on last year after deciding to stop development of its previous browser, Arc.
“Together, we’ll create an AI-powered browser optimized for the many SaaS applications living in tabs – one that knowledge workers will love to use every day,” he added.
They had a browser a lot of knowledge workers loved to use. Then they abandoned it to make an AI agent browser using ChatGPT, month before ChatGPT announced it was making its own browser. Instead of returning to Arc they shelved it regardless as their myopic CEO sought a buyer dumb enough to buy “something-something-AI-something-10x-something.”

I was looking fowards to arc on linux coming out at some point, now I use zen, it’s better than arc ever was.
No tab syncing has kept me hostage to Arc on my workstation.
