The Browser Company stops active development of Arc in favor of new AI-focused product

The Browser Company abruptly stopped actively developing their Arc web browser, surprising tech fans hoping for more updates to improve security and usability. CEO Josh Miller revealed that the complexity of Arc made it hard to retain users, so they introduced Dia—a sleek, AI-powered browser designed to simplify tasks like writing continuations with minimal input. Dia, now available to current Arc members under an alpha version, aims to streamline user experiences, while The Browser isn't planning to sell or open-source Arc anytime soon, leaving this as a fresh opportunity to address past issues.
