I used Arc a lot for a long time, so I get the frustration. It sucks to lose a tool you've built your whole workflow around, especially one with so much personality!
that said, I switched to Dia a while ago and I'm honestly hooked. Looking back, I think The Browser Company made the right call... trying to keep two browsers going would've meant doing neither one well, and Dia feels like where they've put their energy: AI built into the browser, not just tacked on...
It's never fun when a product people love gets shut down, but I'd rather they focus than slowly let Arc fall apart.... as far i can see, I hope they make the switch as painless as possible for everyone still using it 👍
Just yesterday I was telling someone how much I love Arc and the fact that they haven't touched or "improved" it.
I get that you have to make money somehow and that security is bigger concern now than ever before. I'd happily pay $10/month just to keep using it as is, similar to how Basecamp still maintains old versions of the product for people who like that they got.
