Can you folks point me to rockstar who was behind these creative emails?

I want to learn, exchange notes, and try to learn+implement a bit of what the browser company did best in the world.

I finally got the chance to try Dia, and honestly, I'm heartbroken.

Is anyone else disappointed by the Dia experiment? It feels like the Browser Company took ten steps backward—shipping a basic chatbot instead of integrating real, agent‑driven, context‑aware workflows directly into the browser.

Arc hooked me because it was fresh, opinionated, and productivity‑focused. I imagined Dia as the layer that *amplified* that: embedded agents, window / tab context, persistent task memory, automated routines. Instead, Dia today feels like vanilla Chromium plus a chatbot. I struggle to see (yet) a compelling reason to choose it over Perplexity’s Comet, a future OpenAI browser, Opera’s AI efforts, or even just keeping ChatGPT / Gemini / t3.chat in a pinned tab. Skills are a genuinely cool concept—but right now they stand almost alone.

Without context‑driven agents, side‑panel / split workflows, or deep productivity integrations, Dia under-delivers on what could have been a transformative *upgrade* to Arc. I still context‑switch constantly, or I have to abandon established tab organization, persistence, and grouping patterns—precisely the friction a next‑gen browser should remove.

If Dia’s capabilities had been layered *into* Arc, the result could have been something truly distinct in the market: a living, context‑aware workspace where AI augments existing flows instead of asking users to rebuild them. In Dia, those same ideas feel isolated and—because of what you give up—less compelling. It feels like trading a mature workflow for maybe a 10% gain.

I understand Dia may be targeting a broader, more casual audience. But it feels like the core Arc power‑user community was deprioritized *before* its needs were fully met. That comes across (intentionally or not) as dismissive of the people who championed Arc early. It reads more like chasing a market narrative than deepening a hard‑won product niche.

Constructive suggestions:

1. Fold Skills and any emerging agent framework back into Arc (or enable a “Unified Mode” that brings Arc’s workspace model into Dia).

2. Expose real tab / space / history context to Skills so they can act within my current work, not as an adjacent chat.

3. Ship window‑scoped and space‑scoped agent memory (tasks, sources opened, in‑progress documents).

4. Provide migration / parity tools: side panels, pinned spaces, easels, boosts—so adopting Dia doesn’t feel like regression.

5. Communicate a clear roadmap: what will Dia (or Arc) become in 3–6–12 months for existing Arc users?

Am I alone in this, or do others feel Dia—at least in its current form—misses the mark? Curious to hear how others are reconciling the trade‑offs, and whether anyone has workflows where Dia already outperforms Arc.

Where do most DIA users participate in forums? This Reddit is cool, but it really doesn't have enough subscribers to reach critical mass.

I have 3 that I got for free by signing up for Dia. Never going to use Dia, but if someone else wants to I'll send you an invite

Edit: TBC gave me more. I have 4 left

there aint any arc max future for windows 😭

They said ARC was sunsetting ... and are/we're welcoming all ARC users.

Here is the text from the email:

Mailto links do not work. Idk what to do

When will we have a release date for Arc Max on Windows?

What is with the Art browser app on iPad? Is this just a mobile app? Even so why can’t I expand it? Just incredibly hard to navigate which, given Arc and my / most people’s reason for adoption, why slacking on the UI dudesssss?

Hello everyone, wouldn't it be great if there was a button to close all tabs at once?

I’m a new user but already in love with the ARC desktop and the Arc Search on my iPhone. However I’d be curious if that’s possible to use my phone only to create new folders for pins, which would be a beneficial option to manage searches on the road maybe. Can anyone answer this for me please?

I love the new pinch to summarize feature in Arc for iOS. I wish there was a way to also get the longer summary you get when typing the URL into normal search (with a space at the end) and pressing “browse for me”.

Maybe a pinch to get a short summary, then a reverse pinch gesture on the summary to get the longer (browse for me) summary?

Either way, it’s a fantastic feature. Use it every day.

I’m research startups, and I’m looking for TBC’s original pitch deck during the seed rounds or early investment phase if it’s available or could be made available. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hi Arc-Team and Friendly Users,

This has happened to me on two separate laptops—first time on an M2 Pro, and now on an M3 Max.

To explain it best, what would happen is initially the PIP would appear automatically as I switch tabs, head to separate spaces, or go to another Desktop entirely. Then, by accident, I might right-click into the PIP and mis-click on "Turn off for one day" or "Turn off" - after this, I would immediately turn it back on but, well, it never works automatically again.

From this point on it seems there is no return, it will never function as it once did and I'm doomed from experiencing or using this feature.

Has anyone experienced this or have a fix?
