Dia is the AI browser from The Browser Company. Chat with your tabs, write in your own voice, learn and plan faster, shop, and more — all with privacy that you control.
@tonyabracadabra +1! We're viewing vertical content on monitors with horizontal aspect ratios. Anything other than vertical menu bars is madness.

@tonyabracadabra the day they bring spaces and the sidebar, I definitely quit Arc. I tried Dia yesterday, and i already saved many copy and paste that I don't need to do anymore between ChatGPT and my tabs. The way they integrate the chat with the tabs is brilliant!!! OpenAI should take a look at this!
How does The Browser Company plan to compete with dominant AI browsers like Chrome and Edge, given their massive market share and advanced AI features? Also, what support will be offered to Arc users now that new features are discontinued in favor of Dia?

@vouchy yeah, hate to say this 'cause I love scrappy startups and I've long loved Arc (it's still my primary browser!), but this feels like a feature alarmingly similar to a lot of the Chrome AI extensions available today... and also something that's inevitable with Gemini & Chrome.
Product Hunt is usually nothing but love, but the hate for Dia here is well earned. Another bait and switch from an otherwise promising company. Hopefully, they pivot back to Arc.
@paulgeller they definitely won't pivot back to Arc, but they might bring some of "Arc's greatest hits" to Dia.

Arc super user here! Just downloaded Dia and was really impressed with onboarding. I really really really wish Dia had the sidebar organization of Arc - the bookmarks in Dia are a step backwards for me. I'd call product release this two steps forward and one step back. Keep going!
Saving your prompts as Skills is great! There are a few that I use all the time. Also, since its Chromium based, I have all of my usual extensions. I love Dia!
There's a lot to liked in Dia, but it's hard not to compare it to its predecessor. Arc was truly an awesome browser, and it's a bit confusing why that brilliant foundation wasn't simply upgraded. Dia has potential, but I can't make it my daily driver just yet. The primary reason is the tab implementation, which feels like a significant downgrade and is currently a deal-breaker for my workflow. It's a great browser, but it falls short of being awesome.

excited to use this, but need the left sidebar tab functionality after being acclimatized to Arc for the last two years! 🤞

@teeeeeegz @vladguriev Exactly, as an Arc fan i feel this is the only missing piece keeping me from switching
@teeeeeegz @vladguriev @paulmoville They literally made us get used to left sidebar tabs in Arc, it just hurts not having it here!

Just not sure how TBC makes a mark here.
