• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Browser Company, maker of Arc and Dia, is being acquired⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  BCNY is such a weird company. They started out as a “Hey, browsers are a bit crap, let’s fix it” and they made Arc. Arc was fantastic. Used it daily on my Mac. They were doing cool stuff overall.

  And then as soon as AI became more popularised, Josh (the CEO) went complete “tech bro” with it and started shoving AI in Arc (Arc Max) and then other problems with the browser started appearing, and the updates were few and far in between. There were promises to fix it, but they never materialised.

  And then they made Dia. Dia could have been an extension/add-on for browsers.

  $600M+ for BCNY is wild, though. Atlassian obviously has money to burn…
