Personally, I switched to Dia and although I was super skeptical at first, I'm happy to report that it's pretty good for what it is. The browser is basically Arc but with an LLM web-search integrated function that lets it do some digging for you while still providing references. You can use the browser for free without any LLM features and it's basically just Arc, but if you pay for the 10USD per month plan, they integrate Claude into it and you can let it read emails and slack etc and it'll organise a lot for you and keep track of tasks etc.
For productivity at work, I think it's a great tool and I'd highly recommend it, especially if you're forgetful (like me) or have a lot of little tasks that are not in themselves super involved.
For personal use I'd be more skeptical. We've learned the hard way to not trust companies with our data, especially those working with LLMs and I find the possible monetisation of my personal searches and the digital profile of me that is most likely stored somewhere, sufficiently disturbing to dissuade any substantial use on that front.

Thank you this is super helpful to hear. I like that Dia basically looks the same as Arc, and I might start off without the LLM stuff and go from there.
