GoKawiilZen Browser emerges as AI-free alternative as Arc shuts down
The Verge's weekend editor reports switching from Arc to Zen Browser, an open-source project that replicates Arc's pinned sites, left-side tab bar, split spaces and customizable mods. Zen contains no AI assistant and supports Firefox extensions, while Arc's maker Atlassian has shifted focus to its AI-centric Dia browser ahead of Arc's shutdown.
