Honestly it’s so nice to work with everyone at The Browser Company of New York

Here's the big idea behind @diabrowser:
You know how TikTok gets better with every swipe? Dia gets more personalized with every tab you open.
This is 100x more context than ChatGPT, automatically. And we believe it changes what's possible with AI.
But we need your help...
"Imagine Chrome, only with far more design polish and more playful animations" 👌
The Dia browser is a big bet on the web — and an even bigger bet on AI theverge.com/web/685232/dia-…

We've been playing around with different messaging and creative directions for our mobile app Arc Search and want to share a few team favorites:
Which one do you prefer?
1. 1961 - A fast new browser, with instant answers
This week’s release of Arc on Windows includes a complete redesign of the tab switching logic, making it faster and flicker free! It's been a lot of work across multiple technology stacks (Chromium, WinUI, Swift…). I’m really proud of the final result!
Having this group of passionate members testing early versions of Arc really helps us raise the bar and ship a more stable Arc to everyone, thanks to all of them!
A big shoutout to @arcinternet Early Birds! This week you (yes you!) helped us identify not one, but TWO serious regressions that could have had landed on Arc, but thanks to those valuable Arc members, we fixed them on time for tomorrow's release! 💙arc.net/earlybirds
Freezing background tabs that use too much CPU is just one of the many features that we have added to Arc to make it FAST! And we won't stop!
In recent months we froze over 25 million tabs that were secretly slowing down your computer (thx @thisIsSebM).
All done quietly – w/out asking anything from Arc members – to make days on the internet a little bit smoother & speedier.
You're gonna feel like this in Arc soon:
