The once-hyped Arc browser has officially ceased development. Its creator, The Browser Company, published a blog post explaining the decision to discontinue Arc and shift focus toward the development of a new browser, Dia. The silver lining—for now—is that Arc will continue to receive security updates, allowing current users to continue using the browser safely for the time being.
In its blog post, The Browser Company candidly reflected on the missteps made during the development and management of Arc and outlined its forthcoming strategy. In essence, the company is now fully pivoting to Dia, a new browser that is already available in preview—but frustratingly, it too is gated behind a waitlist.
As for why Arc hasn’t been open-sourced, the reason lies in the company’s proprietary ADK (Arc Development Kit), which serves as the foundational framework for both Arc and Dia. Since this toolkit contains proprietary technologies central to the company’s intellectual property, open-sourcing Arc—or the ADK—is currently off the table. The company has stated that if, in the future, releasing the ADK poses no risk to its business, it may reconsider open-sourcing either project.
The browser will not be discontinued outright. The Browser Company has committed to routine updates based on Chromium, addressing security vulnerabilities and fixing bugs. However, no further features will be developed. A timeline for the eventual end of maintenance has not yet been established.
As for Dia, it is likewise reported to offer an excellent user experience. Some testers have already received access. Upon investigation, we found that Dia also requires waitlist registration. Regrettably, we remain puzzled by the rationale for waitlists when it comes to standard desktop software. If the product is ready, it should be openly accessible. If it is not, it should not yet be available for download.
