The Browser Company announced it will discontinue its Arc browser on December 22 and direct users to its new AI-powered browser, Dia, optimized for Apple Silicon Macs and Windows 11 PCs. In a statement, The Browser Company stated that supporting two separate browsers is no longer justified, particularly from a security standpoint.
Dia is designed to adhere to today's stringent security standards, and the company's engineering and security teams will concentrate on its development moving forward. The shutdown of Arc will occur gradually; current Arc users will notice no changes, but new Arc accounts are no longer possible as of today.

Finally, the desktop version of Arc will become unusable on December 22, and user accounts will be deactivated.
