The Browser Company

Most people know us for building browsers. But part of what makes Dia fast and fluid is that it’s written in Swift - on every platform, including Windows. Saleem Abdulrasool, a member of the Swift Core team and the driving force behind cross-platform Swift, has been working with us for years to make Swift production-ready outside the Apple ecosystem. His work is a big part of why we can ship a performant browser from a single Swift codebase across macOS and Windows. In his latest post on our Speaking in Swift blog, Saleem walks through a new piece of infrastructure we’re making public: a free symbol server that gives any Swift on Windows developer fully symbolicated stack traces across the Swift runtime, standard library, and compiler. The post also digs into the history of how debug information works across platforms - from DWARF on Unix to CodeView and PDB on Windows - and how Swift speaks both natively. If you’re into compilers, debuggers, or just the craft of making developer tools work well, it’s a great read. We’re also hiring for this team! If working on Swift at the compiler and runtime level sounds like your thing, please DM me or reach out to us at careers@bcny.com.

Was scrolling through The Browser Company mentions on Twitter and came across this: Someone shared that Dia reminded them to wish their mom a happy Mother’s Day. We spend so much time thinking about the big, complex use cases. But sometimes the thing that actually matters is just a small nudge at the right moment. AI shouldn't take your job, it should nudge you to call your mother. Genuinely made my day. https://lnkd.in/ed6yMB6n

Your research doesn’t need to end in 15 open tabs. Decide with Dia. diabrowser.com/start

You don’t need another app to track tasks. They’re already in your tabs. Dia just writes them down for you. diabrowser.com/start

When you’re in back-to-back meetings, it can be hard to find the time to think, let alone prep for your next block of calls or interviews. Dia reports do the groundwork for you. diabrowser.com/start

Most mornings, the first 30 minutes of work are just... finding work. Too many tools. Too many tabs. All to answer one question: "what's going on?" We think there's a better way. Introducing Dia reports. diabrowser.com/start

We’re teaming up with our friends at Stainless and Clay on Dec. 1 for an evening around agentic product engineering. If you’re in NYC, we’d love to meet you! We’ll dig into topics like: ✱ Prototyping effectively without over-architecting ✱ When agents meaningfully outperform deterministic code ✱ Practical constraints around latency and cost ceilings RSVP: https://luma.com/iml9102j

Small launches. Big difference. Introducing Focus Mode, Custom Keyboard Shortcuts, and Google Meet PiP. Your favorites, now in Dia.

Complex Skills, simple words. The new Skill Builder is now in Dia! Create expert-level prompts with the right tools, memory, and context - from just one sentence.

Why doesn’t Dia use Computer Use for everything? And why did we wait so long? This week’s Dia release introduces Tools — starting with Gmail, Gcal and Autofill. They’re also our first Computer Use features in Dia. So Vardhan Mudunuru, Christine Røde, and Frederick Kellison-Linn sat down to share the hard parts of deciding where, how, and why to introduce Computer Use — and why Dia doesn’t use it for everything: 1. It’s too slow 2. Bespoke integrations are sometimes better 3. Security, trust (and double confirmations) matter most Some might say it’s overdue! But for us, reliability, security, and real utility are the name of the game. Starting today, Dia can create calendar invites, search and draft emails, or fill forms. You just press the button.
