- Atlassian will buy the browser company for $ 610 million
- Wants to support the development of Dia, a new browser with AI
- The way we interact with the web will change, and inherited browsers are not in shape
Atlassian is ready to buy the company of browsers, responsible for ARC and Dia, for $ 610 million in cash.
The company says that its first approach will be to improve the day browser by optimizing it for SAAS applications, but will also integrate AI through the browser -based context to help users “connect the points between … applications, tabs and tasks.”
“His current browser is not designed to help him move on any of that work,” said Atlassian co-confounder and co-co-co-‘co-co-choice. “It was designed before the explosion of SAAS applications, and long before the current AI revolution.”

Despite the support of a much larger software company, the browse company will continue to operate independently.
The agreement was derived from the discussions surrounding the business preparation of the ARC, used by Atlassian workers. The privacy of improved data, safety and management in the tools of the browser company, so Atlassian is intervening to increase them, he says.
Cannon-Broakes also cited a separate investigation of Gartner that states although 85% of the average employee day is dedicated to the browser, less than 10% have adopted a safe business browser.
Gartner pointed out with a safe business browser, IT administrators can enforce security policies, reduce VPN and VDIS dependence and improve visibility and reports.
Speaking about day, the browse company said that “the web pages will no longer be the main interface.”
On the other hand, users will interact more with the chat interfaces of AI. However, “the new interfaces begin with families”, so dayly resembles inherited browsers, which requires a smaller learning curve and supports a long -term transition.
Cannon-Broakes awaits the combination of a “passion[ate]”Browser Builder and a software company that has a” deep experience in how the best teams in the world operate “will result in a truly powerful next generation browser.
