The Browser Company mulls selling or open-sourcing Arc Browser amid AI-focused pivot

The Browser Company is pivoting its focus toward its new AI-powered browser, Dia, while considering selling or open-sourcing its complex Arc Browser to reallocate resources. CEO Josh Miller highlighted that Arc's novelty tax problem—complexity without significant rewards—and lack of cohesion have deterred users and competition. However, the company reserves the right to share its internal SDK used for Dia if it decides to open-source Arc, sparking user interest in converting it into an open-source project.
