I was quite angry when they first announced that they weren't going to support Arc last year and refused to switch to their new 'AI-powered' Dia browser.

After a year to cool off, I gave Dia a shot. Despite wanting to hate it, I like the browser a lot. You can turn off the shit AI features, and it's a well designed and thoughtful UX.

As much as Josh is a tool, this is genuinely a great product and the team at TBC has executed really well.

That’s neat, but I don’t understand in what world I would migrate to a browser made by the people who just killed their browser after promising it would be maintained indefinitely. Especially after being bought by Atlassian, who has an almost perfect track record of ruining or sunsetting nearly every acquisition.

Makes me wonder what would have been if they had just continued on with Arc and implemented Dia features there, instead of flushing all that user goodwill down the toilet when they announced that Arc development was ending last year.

You're OK returning to the vendor that fucked you over with their last product and trusting that they won't do it again with their new product?

>As much as Josh is a tool

did you really have to include that? without substantiation this is just a mean offhand side swipe.

And your reply accomplishes what, exactly?

The substantiation is sunsetting a popular browser because you bought into AI hype. Hence, tool.
