Title: Browser Company Abandons Arc for AI-Powered Successor

Link: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/05/27/141246...

The Browser Company has ceased the active development of its Arc browser to
focus on Dia, a new AI-powered browser currently in alpha testing, the
company said Tuesday. In a lengthy letter to users, CEO Josh Miller said the
startup should have stopped working on Arc "a year earlier," noting data
showing the browser suffered from a "novelty tax" problem where users found
it too different to adopt widely. Arc struggled with low feature adoption --
only 5.52% of daily active users regularly used multiple Spaces, while 4.17%
used Live Folders. The company will continue maintenance updates for Arc but
won't add new features. Arc also won't open-source the browser because it
relies on proprietary infrastructure called ADK (Arc Development Kit) that
remains core to the company's value.
