Would you use Arc or Dia after the Atlassian acquisition?

TBC said they won't change a thing but a big company like Atlassian can impact how small teams work.
So curious what folks are thinking!

Still an Arc user, very upset about the stop on it and the fact that although I still think it's the best interaction, UX and productivity, but the performance issues and bugs are crazy.
Wanted to do the switch to @Zen Browser but I'm not happy to switch from chromium to mozilla at the moment so I haven't moved yet.
I look at the market daily for a replacement and will leave any TBC Browser ASAP anyway. They destroyed not only Arc but any trust as well. I tried Dia but is so sketchy, I don't really know how people could adopt it as a main browser.
The acquisition can't make any good but giving enough resources to get Arc back on track...and I don't think it will happen anyway.

I'll stay, need to give it a shot and see what it'll end up being, most companies (not named Twitter/X), don't go crazy immediately making changes. They'll keep it as is, until they see where they can make changes, adjustments, cuts to "improve efficiency" and get a return on their investment/purchase. So time will tell.
I use both Dia & Comet, mainly because I like to compare them against each other, but Dia today is still one of the top browsers!

@mogabr also willing to take a "time will tell" approach.
Now I'm curious to see if @Strawberry or @Deta will fill the void...
Might be naive on my side but maybe with Atlassian resources Arc will get more focus again. I haven't switched to Dia mainly because it wiped out all the UX paradigms that Arc built over the last few years. Hope it doesn't get sunset OR maybe they'll make a (smart) decision to couple Arc's UX with Dia's AI capabilities. Still don't understand the product decision to separate these two.
Moved to @Zen Browser when they switched the focus to Dia.
@feriforgacs Moved recently and quite happy with the decision. It even performs better with Google Meet
@feriforgacs oh, cool. Finding about Zen browser just now. What's the big value prop you found?

for now... but lets see
I actually ended up moving over to Chrome.
I still use Arc as it can manage content across different accounts, which is super convenient for me.
