#62Why on earth would they shelve out money for these horrible, totally mislead, borderline useless, alien like things (browsers)?
Re: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company
#63I really appreciate that there's a company trying to reimagine browsers. Arc was an interesting idea, I used it for a few months, but in the end I switched back to Firefox. I haven't tried Dia yet, and now I'm not sure if I should. I do think that selling a browser is going to be an extremely difficult task, so having an enterprise software machine with huge customer base might help it, but Atlassian strikes me as a…
Skip Dia, it's a security nightmare.

#64The link seems to be serving a 404 (at least from the Arc Search app on iOS, ironically)

#65I never knew the Browser Company had such an awesome logo! Anyway, the idea of making Dia into the knowledge worker's browser sounds good. For me, this new browser would be successful the day I prefer to run Linear and Notion in Dia rather than using the companies' own Electron desktop apps (which are pretty terrible on Mac at least, so the bar is not necessarily very high).
I don't think first class Linear or Notion support will be high on their list given who acquired them.

#66Atlassian owns: jira, confluence, trello, bitbucket, loom, and a couple of other small products
It doesn’t feel like a strong strategic or product fit. These are all complex power user products meant to serve enterprises at scale. Integration doesn’t seem useful either. Bummer but congrats to the team!

If you liked Arc, you should try Zen. I understand it brings many of the same ideas to a Firefox base.

Re: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company
#68I lost all faith in The Browser Company when they went into a maintenance-only mode with Arc to shift to Dia, without any real announcement. Just a reply to a Twitter post calling them out. They figured no one would notice. I think they eventually addressed it after some public pressure, but I don’t think they sold the decision well. AI seems like a feature to add to existing browsers, not something that needs its ow…
Yep, you nailed it.
Why would I try/migrate to a new workflow after they axed my old one. You can't rebuild customer trust after that
Re: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company
#69Zen has replaced Arc for me nicely.

#70Hmm so those aren't alternative web browsers but "AI" crammed on top of ... chromium or something?
