Another Chrome challenger bites the dust - Atlassian is buying The Browser Company for $610m

• Atlassian will buy The Browser Company for $610 million
• It wants to support the development of Dia, a new AI-powered browser
• The way we interact with the web will change, and legacy browsers aren’t fit

Atlassian is set to buy The Browser Company, responsible for Arc and Dia, for $610 million in cash.

The company says its first focus will be on improving the Dia browser by optimizing it for SaaS apps, but it will also integrate AI via browser-based context to help users “connect the dots between… apps, tabs and tasks.”

“Your current browser isn’t designed to help you move any of that work forward," noted Atlassian co-founder and co-CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes. "It was designed before the explosion of SaaS apps, and well before the current AI revolution.”
