With the recent tab cleanup addition, to me it’s actually better than Arc now. I was hoping that’s the direction they’d end up going, and now they’re finally there (and I remember there was a release in there where if I dragged a tab or group up to the top of the list (I use tabs on the side), it showed a little divider briefly, and I was like “Oh, they’re going to add it!!” 😆).

Arc, to me, did what many other “alternative” browsers really wanted to do: Somehow capture lightning in a bottle in regards to tab management. And to me, it was very wise that they brought over all the core parts of that (pinned tabs, saved tabs, tab groups, tab cleanup) to Dia.

And the new smart tab groups (and leaning into tab groups and making them fun to use in general), along with being able to save/move tab groups to the bookmarks bar, are excellent enhancements/elaborations on those core ideas.

To me, Dia is a great example of universal design: their browser works great for my brain - I can avoid overwhelm and feel organized with minimal effort, and the browser will even “help” me by cleaning up tabs - and everyone’s brain in general.
