Overview
- The company has ceased feature development on Arc and will provide only security patches and bug fixes to maintain the browser.
- CEO Josh Miller attributed the pause to Arc’s steep learning curve and fragmented core features that hindered mainstream adoption.
- The Browser Company is exploring selling or open-sourcing Arc but cannot open-source the underlying Arc Development Kit without risking Dia’s proprietary IP.
- Dia remains in alpha testing with no set release date and will be available to select Arc members for feedback.
- The firm has expanded its security engineering team from one to five to bolster defenses as it builds its AI-powered browsing platform.
