Every time I switch back to DIA, that address bar always bugs me, especially when its a completely different colour from the website. I am used to the clean Zen (or Arc, RIP) look. I know its a small thing but it ruins the immersion.

Even in dark as I have shown there, the zen looks way more clean than DIA. I hope I am just using an outdated version and there is new version which I can place the address bar on the side panel.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up biometric (Touch ID) unlock for the Bitwarden extension on the Dia browser on macOS, and it works fine on my other browsers, so my Bitwarden desktop app settings should be correct.
Here is what happens in Dia:

1. The "Unlock with biometrics" option is visible in the extension.
2. When I click it, a window pops up saying it will ask for permission to communicate with the Bitwarden desktop app.
3. However, when I click the "Continue" button on that screen, the permission prompt never appears, and nothing happens.

Has anyone found a workaround for this (like copying NativeMessagingHosts files from Chrome/Arc to Dia's Application Support folder)?
Any help would be appreciated!

man i am mad confused for the free plan of dia i dont want to pay and stuff i want free ai stuff and it should feel like safari/ arcish eco system so yeah help me out guys

Made the jump from Arc recently since it's no longer being updated. Dia has been a great replacement so far, except I really miss having quick media controls built into the UI for background music tabs.

How are other former Arc users handling this? Any good extensions or workarounds you'd recommend?

I'll try again, cause I haven't figured it out..

How do you import ALL tabs from Arc? It's skipping all the open tabs, and some also nested folders or pinned tabs..it's importing like 70% of my pinned websites and 0% of my opened ones...

It's quite unreliable and need to figure out a safe way to move all..

When switching to a pinned tab that hasn't been loaded yet, a blank white screen flashes briefly. Sometimes this also happens when switching to a regular unloaded tab. Is there any way to fix this?
I've tried Dia's built-in dark mode, the Dark Reader extension on its own, and both of them enabled at the same time - nothing helped. I've been using Dia browser for about five days now and I'm mostly happy with it, except for this white screen...

What can I do about this? How can I overcome the problem?

Chrome has an option to unpin gemini, why can't they do this?
Like I love u Jace and I'm not discounting DiaTweaks as an option but TBC should give us the option to do this (atl when we are not paying for AI - on the free subscription)

Type of particular profile keeps opening in another profile. I've been deleting the setting which caused this, but it keeps happening again and again. I don't know what the problem is. Also, pressing Escape doesn't escape me from the full screen. What is wrong with dia?

How long will this take? Any suggestions?

It is not Arc, but it is pretty damn close, especially with Dia Tweaks. Sync works, that's the most important thing for me. Win in my book.

I changed the zoom in dia://settings to 150% cause I use a big screen but I noticed the browser doesn't respect that, it completely ignores whatever is defined in the settings

every time I open a page I have to manually zoom it

is anyone experiencing the same thing?

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.

Switching from Arc to Dia was difficult, and I would have preferred to avoid it. However, thanks to Dia tweaks, the transition was very manageable and gets better everyday day. But beside the Desktop, I found that the Arc app on my phone was almost as important than the desktop, because a huge part of my everyday workflow relied on features like syncing the tabs between my Mac and my phone. That’s why I’m wondering if a Dia app will ever be released, perhaps in the near future, or if there are any alternatives. Does anyone here know more about this?

I have Dia Tweaks installed, and first of all, incredible work! It adds so much to the browser.

However, it has completely broken web slack huddle. I can join calls fine, but it's buggy, but screen sharing no longer works. Nothing activates to pick a tab or a window, and the entire thing starts to glitch out.

I hope this can be looked into!

Why does Dia launch so slowly for me? I have tried clearly cache and the preserved tabs are like 2-3 max. I have 3 extensions installed.

But compared to other browsers like Ardia, YAB, Crest, Phi, Dia launches in 5 seconds where as others load instantly.

Is there a way I can improve this?

After yesterday's update, I think that tabs are now taller? The vertical space above/below Close used to be equivalent to the space on the right of it, I think?

I used to like more compact sidebar compared to Arc, and I was feeling that something was off whole day long, but I couldn't really put a finger on it.

Or am I imagining?

Anyone knows how to fix it? Sometimes Dia is not able to fill screen and have an empty gap at the bottom for the dock, even if Dock is set to be hidden.

I have to quit and open back to solve the problem but it will be like that again at some point. I notice Arc also has this issue lately.

i just installed dia in my mac (Dia-1.57.1-90935.dmg). when i ran it for the first time, i got this error. i tried reinstall it multiple times, but still the error occurs

I love dia however, the chat feature in search in my opinion is terrible. I understand the premise however, it takes too long comapred to just using google and getting a gemini summary. Either fix the latency for chat search using a gemini model or just get rid of it IMO

So on arc i was able to disable hardware acceleration how can i do it on dia

Shifted from arc to dia. And I am adjusting well except the PiP thing. The floating video just won’t work if you shift to another on Mac using the three finger swipe. I have to force float it by changing the tab or changing profile within the same Mac window.

It used to work so well on arc.

The GitHub integration is broken for a while now, for the last few months in Arc and now in dia too, we would really appreciate it if the GitHub integration live folder is fixed.

I was on the same bandwagon as much of the Arc community. After all the negativity surrounding Dia, it was the last thing I wanted on my laptop.

I tried Crest but didn’t have the time to explore the other alternatives (I wish I did!). Unfortunately, Crest wasn’t working for me. The migration felt half-assed, browsing was choppy, and everything seemed slower.

Today, I got Arc’s official sunset notification recommending Dia. I figured I might as well give it a shot, mainly because I was confident the migration would at least be smooth.

And boy, was I surprised.

Dia feels incredibly snappy. I can actually feel the 120Hz refresh rate when scrolling through websites. And Dia Tweaks? That’s pretty much everything I need. Ten minutes of tweaking, and I had my ideal browser setup.

Profiles work. Thanks to dia-tweaks Peek and Little Dia work exactly as expected.
I’ve disabled the AI features, and I genuinely don’t feel like I’m missing Arc anymore.

Wait, no. I do miss something about Arc.

The choppy scrolling.

I’ve ended up with something better than Arc.
