Agreed, to make it even more interesting Browser Company discontinued Arc earlier this year. So not only did they do all of the things OP listed, but also didn't have a current product when acquired.
They have "Dia" - which is Chrome + AI chat? https://www.diabrowser.com/
It has been so tragic to see the unforced downfall of this company. Arc is such an amazing browser that really did some new and interesting things. They clearly have some phenomenal talent on the team, having managed to get their swift-centric development working on _Windows_. That's a huge and difficult undertaking! And they threw it away to work on (probably) the CEO's new fixation and threw Arc away like an old to…
False.
On my work machine, I would grasp at any straw that promised to make JIRA less annoying.

What is with this need for a single application to do so many different tasks instead of just being focused on doing its job and doing it well (browsing the web in this case). I just don't understand how they can with a straight face say "Today’s browsers weren’t built for work." when their entire business relies on browsers ability to do exactly that and have basically been fine (heavy javascript usage in Jira aside…
I’d like to ask the same thing. The main things I want from my browser are for it to be a good browser . Fast and secure with excellent tab and bookmark management capabilities. Anything else except maybe ad blocking is extraneous. I understand that a lot of people live in their browsers, but for web apps I’d rather split them out into “installed” PWAs and have them benefit from system app/window management facilitie…

I mean this with no snark: I would love to see the investor deck that explains how an AI-powered browser is going to make any multiple of $610M.
More charitably by selling the only browser that's actually usable in a few years. The AI will be used to cancel out the effect of other people's AI.
Can somebody please tell me what is the business play behind The Browser Company. It has always seemed very suspicious to me, well-funded, not making money, and now this
