I tried Arc browser’s smarter sibling so you don’t have to — but you might want to
Dia is an AI-native web browser — but with a solid chance it could lead to AI fatigue soon enough.
No other browser developer is making as much of a buzz in the tech community as The Browser Company, the makers of Arc. While Arc was one of the most offbeat web browsers I’ve used (and stuck to!) in a long time, it didn’t garner the widespread appeal the company had hoped for. That’s why it has now switched gears to Dia — a web browser built from the ground up around generative AI. It integrates deep into your workflow, intelligently talks to your open tabs, and has contextual awareness like no other.
Dia is currently in beta for Mac. I went hands-on with the browser to find out what exactly is new — and whether it’s tempting enough for one to switch away from Google Chrome.
