Problem Solved
What problem does Arc solve?
Arc is for people who used it as their daily desktop browser and keep their work, personal browsing and everyday sites organized in Spaces, Pinned Tabs and Folders. Arc is shutting down, so these users must move their setup before the December 22, 2026 cutoff or lose access to Arc and their account. Dia, built by the same team, imports passwords, history, tabs, Profiles (formerly Spaces), Folders, bookmarks and extensions in a few clicks, so nothing has to be rebuilt by hand. For example, an Arc user with separate work and personal Spaces opens Dia, picks Arc as the import source, and gets those Spaces back as Profiles.
