About The Browser Company
The Browser Company of New York is a group of friendly humans working to build a better way to use the internet But how? The web browser is one of the most important tools we use — not just on our computers, but in our lives. The world has changed in the past 15 years, but our web browsers look and behave pretty much the same. We think it’s time to push the web browser forward again, which is why we built Arc and now Dia — browsers that aren't just faster, but also more personal, focused, creative… and maybe even more fun. If this is as exciting for you as it is for us, don't hesitate to say hello! We're always looking for great people to join our mission.
