I find it odd Arc has AI garbage when Dia was supposed to be their AI browser. If they were going to put AI in Arc anyway, they should have stuck with one browser instead of rug pulling everyone right as it started to actually take off.

I’m pretty sure I saw more Arc videos posted after Dia than before. None of the people seemed to be aware that the browser they were pushing was effectively end of life.

Arc existed long before Dia, and had AI shoved into it when LLMs exploded, then the company decided to go all-in on an AI browser, Dia, and orphaned Arc...


But to their point, why rug pull instead of updating Arc? My guess is it has something to do with The Browser Company's acquisition by Atlassian

Yeah, makes sense.
