The strategy aims to blend Arc’s experimental strengths with a more streamlined, AI‑native platform. Leia mais →

The Browser Company has made its AI-driven browser, Dia, freely downloadable for any Mac that runs macOS 14 on an M1 chip or newer. The rollout follows a private beta that began in June after the product’s initial reveal last year. Dia embeds a chatbot in every tab, enabling web searches, site comparisons, on‑page question answering, copy‑editing and summarization without leaving the page. The company, known for its earlier Arc browser, shifted full focus to Dia after CEO Josh Miller said Arc lacked cohesion. An acquisition by Atlassian, valued at roughly $610 million and set to close by the end of 2025, is expected to accelerate Dia’s expansion, though a Windows version has not yet been announced.

The move positions Comet against established browsers like Google Chrome and newer AI‑focused options such as The Browser Company’s Dia, as the market anticipates OpenAI’s own AI browser launch.
