They’re not sunsetting it; they’re just keeping it in the same maintenance mode they told us about a year ago when they said the 2.0 browser would be getting all the new development effort. If you like how Arc works right now, you’re good.

I don’t know why it’s being reported like a new situation or a shutdown. You can see in the article comments that the author gets called out for misunderstanding and doubles down.

Zen browser is very promising as a hopefully long-lived alternative to Arc with essentially the same design. It’s missing a few important features (like folders, which should be coming any week now), but overall it performs more smoothly than Arc on windows. Though I’m still using Arc for work on my Mac (for now).

Dia is an “AI native browser,” and the Arc CEO said that browsers are going to be killed by AI chat. So if you want to get real work done, Dia is probably not going to be an option.
