I've switched to Zen browser recently (I like it's spaces and folder structure to organize work on a daily basis, same as Arc). fFox nightly is not there yet but it's getting close with tabs on the left..

What a cursed thought.
If that agent does jira stuff instead of me so I don’t have to ever see it again then I am all for it.
You can have your coding agent do it.
What was the Browser Company even doing? First they had a successful consumer product with Arc as a Chrome clone, then they decided to shut it down for...a whole new browser called Dia that essentially acted as a browser extension that so many vibe coded clones were made of? What was even the point of all this roundabout engineering and the time and manpower to do so? What a waste. This seems more like an acquihire t…
Why would anyone acquire a company that made a successful VSCode fork or a wrapped Chromium browser? I expect these people making such decisions to be far from understanding tech behind it.

Imagine, a browser with the polished experience and performance of Jira
Arc Browser is an excellent "what could have been" story. The UI came together amazingly fast, there was excellent posts every week with updates from the project lead, and it felt fresh and exciting. It would be an amazing open source project, but there just not a good way to monetize it. There's no other browser, including newer projects like Zen, with a better ui. I would strongly encourage Atlassian to open source…
Who knows what Atlassian will do with it, but I did find it a bit frustrating that in the Atlassian blog announcing the acquisition, they showcase images of Arc when they're specifically talking about Dia. The two browsers do not have UI parity, and much of what I loved about Arc would need to be recreated in Dia.
Hug Firefox close, it's an awful world out there, especially with Google being given the greelight to continue their monopolising with Chrome.
I remember being tempted by this thing when it first came out - their asinine sign up waiting list kept me from pursuing it further and then I forgot about it until they eventually fully dumped it and moved into full AI-enshittification territory. There are really 30 years of reasons why most people will never trust a new entrant to the browser market - this is just the latest and probably greatest.
What a shitshow.
The web as a whole is also built on this discovery and people visiting pages and interacting with other. This gets lost when you get into the flow of just AI'ing everything.
Atlassian 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!
Thus far I’ve found Jira’s AI features to be basically nonsensical (and they’re constantly annoying me with downright childish amounts of bling, like if you asked a five-year-old to design a product box). So that seems perfectly in character. All right, there’s a related-tickets feature that could have been great (witness the related-questions feature on Stack Overflow’s ask page, widely acknowledged to search better…
And I use Confluence’s AI pretty often.
