The company behind Arc is building a new AI web browser called Dia. I really liked Arc, their previous browser, and that's part of the problem: it's been clear that they have been spending less time on Arc, starting with their AI-driven mobile browser. They also spent a lot of time on Arc for Windows, which slowed Arc's feature progress. Now they're making a whole new browser.
In the meantime, I started using Safari more, mostly to try out some of its new features, but I ended up not going back to Arc. I get that companies have to find a way to sustain themselves, and the lack of a way to make a business out of Arc was one of my concerns in adopting it. I'm not as angry as people in the comments section on that article are, but it is disappointing. Maybe this new thing will be amazing someday, but I'm not going to jump in until it's clear that it has a future.
