As part of this acquisition, we’ll be bringing some of Arc browser’s “greatest hits” to Dia.
Think: CMD-S to hide the sidebar (Focus Mode) and special integrations with GitHub, etc.
What do you miss most from Arc that we should consider bringing over after the deal closes?
We’re growing Dia, our AI browser.
With Atlassian’s support, we’ll bring Dia to more platforms, weave in the workflows you love in Arc, and push AI browsing further. Dia is here for you if you're curious (sign up anytime with your Arc email!).

You may have heard the news! @browsercompany has entered into an agreement to be acquired by $TEAM.
Here’s what it means for our Arc Members like you:
- Arc and Arc Search will continue to exist

Today, The Browser Company of New York is entering into an agreement to be acquired by Atlassian for $610M in an all-cash transaction.
We will operate independently, with Dia as our focus. Our objective is to bring Dia to the masses.
🔗 More details from our team below
Same team, same way of building.
We’ll keep our NYC HQ, culture, creativity, and heartfelt intensity. Only difference is we now have more support to go further, faster.

The @browsercompany team is going rogue, I’m losing control:
Renaming tab titles — a fan favorite in @arcinternet — coming to @diabrowser soon!
(@Connor taking advantage of his veteran status on the team to ship as a nights & weekends project because he loves you all so much)
Vertical tabs in @diabrowser make it feel like AI chat and a web browser actually fused together.
There’s something natural about having your browser tabs right next to your AI chats in a sidebar.
Rolling out in a week or two! Don’t worry, it’s just an option in Settings.
Arc members can now download Dia at https://t.co/D3jXcZxsjw !
To log in:
1. You'll need to create a 🆕 Dia account using your Arc email address.
2. You can find your Arc email by heading to Arc > Settings > Account.
3. You don't need to use the same password for Dia and Arc!
I wrote about @arcinternet:
1. What happened to Arc browser?
2. Will we open source Arc?
3. Why not pursue AI within Arc?
4. What’s the point of Dia?
And more! Essay in next tweet.
Thx for being patient. We wanted to be very open & honest. Took time to express it clearly…
Not everyone loved our Arc Search on Android designs in the beginning...
@chrstnerode walks us through some of the ups and downs of designing specifically for Android ahead of our GA launch next week!
The @browsercompany board meeting is this week. Good moment to pause & reflect.
We've nearly quadrupled daily actives so far this year, and brought Arc to iOS, Windows, and Android.
In a few weeks, we'll share a video update on what to expect from 2.0. Grateful for you all <3
