The Browser Company — the maker of the Arc and AI-centric Dia browsers — is set to have a new owner. Atlassian is buying it for around $610 million in an all-cash deal, which it expects to close in the second quarter of its fiscal year 2026 (i.e. by the end of the 2025 calendar year).

According to The Browser Company, it will continue to operate independently as it builds Dia. A private beta for the browser started in June. Arc (a well-regarded browser on which the company has ended active development) and Arc Search will stick around, and a long-term plan for those will be revealed in the near future.

Co-founders Josh Miller and Hursh Agrawal are staying on as CEO and CTO, respectively. Miller wrote in a blog post that they are looking to accelerate their ambitions by teaming up with Atlassian. “We chose Atlassian because their strengths complement our gaps,” Miller wrote. “And most importantly, like us, they believe the browser is becoming the new operating system.” The Browser Company plans to bring Dia to “to every platform faster than we could have previously imagined” in the coming months.

Miller said the company had three conditions for any acquisition: to ensure it remained independent, that all of its team members still had a job and that its “vision for Dia remains at the center.” He added that “a large part of why we chose Atlassian is values. Now more than ever. Not the kind you hang on a wall, but the ones you see in the work itself.”

Atlassian is the owner of productivity and enterprise services such as project management apps Jira and Trello (which has been buggy for me for over a year, for what it’s worth). Last month, it reportedly laid off around 150 workers, many of whom were said to be in the customer service department, and was said to be planning to use AI to take over some of those former employees’ tasks.

“Our vision is to make Dia the AI browser for work,” Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes said in a video announcing the acquisition. The team is designing Dia so it’s “optimized for the SaaS [software as a service] apps where you spend your day; packed with AI skills and your personal work memory to unleash your potential; and built with trust and security in mind, so you can bring it to the office. An AI browser for your system of work.”

Eufy just introduced its latest outdoor security camera at IFA in Germany. The EufyCam S4 monitors your home using a fixed 4K wide-angle camera and a pair of 2K sensors that activate when a possible intruder is spotted and track them. Capable of auto-framing its subject, the main camera can pan, tilt and zoom in on a person as far as 164 feet away. It can also intelligently zoom out to ensure groups are kept in view.

The EufyCam S4’s stationary bullet camera has a 130-degree field of view, while the pan, tilt and zoom camera provides 360-degree tracking. With the three lenses working in unison, it’s going to be pretty difficult for anyone to evade their gaze. The camera also has a dual motion detection system, combining radar and passive infrared (PIR) tech to distinguish between moving humans and vehicles. This way you should get fewer false alarms from the Eufy app.

If the camera detects an intruder, red and blue warning lights are activated and a siren will trigger to warn them off. The camera can also be paired with Eufy’s HomeBase S380 (sold separately), a smart security hub that uses the company’s BionicMind AI tech for what it says is 99.9 percent accurate facial recognition. It also increases local storage to a sizable 16TB.

The EufyCam S4 ships with a built-in 5.5 watt panel that can fully charge the camera with an hour of direct sunlight. The panel is detachable, so can easily be moved to an area where it’ll drink up more rays, and you also get a rechargeable battery included so you’re not exclusively relying on the sun.

On its own, the EufyCamS4 costs $300 and will be available later this year. Bundles of multiple cameras and a HomeBase S380 will also be available.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is officially available for purchase, after six long years of waiting. The anticipation is at a fever pitch. Fans have swarmed to Steam to purchase the game and, well, it looks like they overloaded the system and shut it down. The same thing seems to be happening to the Nintendo eShop and the Xbox Store. 

Multiple social media users and data from services like DownDetector are noting that the service is down for many people, with a massive spike in reports pretty much the moment Silksong became available. This could be a coincidence but it’s probably not. Silksong is one of the hottest releases in recent memory.

In any event, we’ve reached out to Steam and will update this post when we hear back or when the platform has returned. Congrats to those who already got their hands on the game.

This is a developing story.
