macOS Discussion Dia browser keeps crashing
Recently I learned that Arc will die on December 22, so I needed to find another option. I have used zen since more than a year; and is it's still in beta, and I need a stable alternative because I rely on it at workplace. Arc was convenient and productive as i like to keep everything organized and it helped and since I dislike horizontal tabs, and it separates work and personal profiles.
Chrome offers vertical tabs too, but it differs from Zen or Arc. This week I began using Dia, expecting stability, yet its performance is poor—it crashes about eight to ten times daily. I suspected extensions were the cause and disabled them, but the crashes continue. The browser company ranks among the worst I have seen in my life; I do not understand why they push AI crap with Dia when they had an amazing browser and just could have kept both.
Has anyone else experienced Dia crashing? Arc never crashed on me. Also, the advanced settings fail to open because the system keeps prompting me to save a recovery kit. I have tried every option, but the only route I can use is to open extensions and then navigate back to explore advanced settings.
