What's New in Dia v0.49.0

You can expect some big things to start shipping next week. But first, a few tweaks you’ll notice right away.

💰 Payments are back on track. We fixed an issue that was affecting payment processing on some websites. You can now pay bills, book flights, and shop without interruption. Thanks to all who reported this!

🍽️ Tables are cleaner. We also addressed a bug that was causing tables and charts to flicker while loading in Chat. Everything is smoother now: columns fit the text more naturally, and scrolling feels steadier while results arrive. To try it, just ask Dia to compare two of your tabs in a chart.

We’ve also shipped a handful of bug fixes under the hood and upgraded Dia to Chromium M141. Expect your browser to be fast, safe, and stable.

This one’s slow and steady, but expect a whole lot of momentum right around the corner. We’ll see you back here next week.

What's New in Dia v0.47.0

As Dia unfolds, you stay in control. See more when you want, skip ahead when you don’t, and keep common actions a click or keystroke away. Every update is about staying in flow.

Dia Browser

⭐️ Set the pace. You call the shots, even while you wait. If Dia is using reasoning (you’ll see “Thinking deeply…”) you can click Skip >for a quicker answer.

Dia Browser

🔍 Search with your engine. Did you know you can choose your default search engine in Settings? Then, when you type something into the Command Bar, the suggestion dropdown now shows your default search engine. Prefer Bing? Use DuckDuckGo? You’ll see your choice in the dropdown.

Dia Browser

🪟 Split tabs on command. Option+click the New Tab (➕) button to open a New Tab Page in a Split alongside your current tab. That’s one small step to keep you organized, as easy as a simple shortcut.

Dia Browser

🖼️ Take images with you. We continue to refine how images show up in Chat. The right‑click menu now puts familiar save and copy actions up front, so you can take your images with you without complication.

Plus some small fixes that go a long way:

  • Citations are more reliable after addressing a bug where they were appearing as plain text. You'll now get hyperlinks that work when you need them.
  • Replies read more naturally thanks to a prompt update that dials back heavy formatting and unnecessary lists in favor of clean, readable paragraphs. Don’t forget: you can also control how Dia responds in the Personalization pane.

We’re still signing folks up to be Dia Early Birds. Want to try new browser features before anyone else? We’d love to hear from you.

Enjoy v0.47 as it works for you, and stay tuned for more next week.

See you on the internet!

What's New in Dia v0.46.0

Dia thinks harder when you need it most. For the past few weeks, we’ve been rolling out GPT‑5 to work with Skills and queries that use reasoning. And thanks to some changes under the hood, everything’s starting to feel just right.

✨GPT‑5 in Dia✨

When you start a query with /research or run a Skill, you’re now on GPT‑5.

This week has some updates to how answers powered by GPT-5 show up:

  • Replies are easier to read with less heavy bolding, more natural paragraphs, and cleaner LaTeX formatting.
  • Writing help only shows up when you need it with smarter logic for when text proposals are presented.
  • Fast takeaways, then the details. Replies offer a simple answer first, then a fuller explanation if you want it.
  • Chat will ask fewer clarifying questions when formulating an answer, speeding up response time.

These changes help blend GPT‑5 into Chat for a consistent experience no matter what you’re doing. As always, if anything doesn't look right, please let us know.

Plus some small tweaks with a lasting impact:

  • Images load more consistently, and the right‑click menu is simplified so you can copy or download images more often.
  • If your device drops below 300 MB free (the minimum required to run Dia), you’ll get a clear warning.
  • We’ve increased everyone’s Dia invites. Share access to the beta with teammates, friends, or anyone else who might benefit from an AI browser. Look for the pop‑up on a new tab, or click Dia > Invite to Dia… on your Mac menu bar.

And don’t forget — you can explore brand new versions of Dia as they hatch in our Early Birds program. 🐣

Give /research a spin and let us know what you think!

What’s New in Dia v0.45.0

In Dia, every click counts. In v0.45.0, it's easier than ever to use your browsing history, build Memories, reflect on your day, and shape your online experience around what matters most to you.

Memory and History, working together.

Your browser is where you do everything. You shouldn’t have to start fresh, repeat yourself, or retrace your steps. Dia makes it easy to look back and plan ahead.

Dia Browser

🕰️ Historic Skills. Skills now work with your history to craft bespoke results, just for you. And we’ve dropped a new Skills pack to turn yesterday’s searches into today’s reflections, recaps, and takeaways, all with the things you’ve already done.

Get the Browsing History Skills Pack to try Skills like:

🔮 future-self to receive a thoughtful letter from your future self, based on your own browsing history and tone of voice.

📋 daily-wrap to summarize your last 24 hours of work and share it with your team.

📆 weekly for a look back at your entire work week.

Give these Skills a try, and let us know what you think!

🧳 ChatGPT import. If you've used ChatGPT in Dia, you can now import your history as Memories to add even more context. Import once, then pick up where you left off. Just head to your Personalization page and click Import from ChatGPT… to bring your past context into the present.

And major improvements to Memory for even more context as you browse:

  • Memory excludes sensitive sites (like banks) and all incognito tabs, but you can also manually opt out of saving Memories from specific websites. When you do so, Dia automatically removes all previous Memories from that site too.
  • Location details are more nuanced, providing sharper context for Memories while respecting your privacy.
  • AI responses in Chat summaries are excluded so that Memory reflects your activity, not what an AI said. This keeps your history more personal and relevant.
  • Activity summaries in Memory are formatted for quicker scanning, so you can see what matters at a glance.

Plus some helpful tweaks to your daily browsing:

🛡️ Safety with intention. Overzealous safety checks have been toned down. Expect fewer false alarms, so you only get notified when it really matters. Behind the scenes, we’re refining how Dia detects real risks so your alerts are always meaningful and accurate.

🥺 Sad tabs. We wouldn’t wish a crashed tab on anyone, but at least you’ll know when it happens with a new landing page to make those rare moments less confusing. Of course, fingers crossed it doesn’t happen. 🤞

🔖 Background bookmarks. If you’re using an external mouse, you can now open bookmarks in background tabs by clicking with your middle mouse button (or Command+click on a trackpad). It’s a small change to keep you in your flow.

Are you interested in trying new versions of Dia before anyone else? Sign up for the Early Birds program to spot bugs, test new features, and leave your mark on Dia.

Thanks for browsing with us!

What’s New in Dia v0.44.0

Power and personality are at the forefront of this week's Dia. Chat feels sharper and Memory is easier to shape. And each change makes Dia feel a little more yours.

A more capable Chat

Chat is where the action happens. It's where the internet and your personal context meet. And this week includes a package of updates that make Chat smarter, more dependable, and even better in your day-to-day.

Dia Browser

🗂️ @history includes Chats. Mention @history in any Chat or Skill to pull in recent Chats and websites, bringing more context to your present task.

📄 Smarter PDFs. Our PDF reader is now more accurate and comprehensive, so you can reference documents without fear of missing info.

Dia Browser

🎨 Write and Code polish. Writing and coding are two of the most common functions in Chat. Drafts and code blocks are now cleaner and easier to read, whether you’re writing or debugging.

🫰 Try Skills instantly. Test a Skill from the [Skills Gallery](diabrowser.com/skills) on any tab, no install required. Just click Try Skill in the pop-up menu.

🔎 Better tab attachments. When you @-mention tabs, the dropdown hides the ones you’ve already mentioned, making it faster to add the context you need.

🤖 More models, fewer errors. If something goes wrong, Chat now switches to backup AI models so your work continues uninterrupted.

More personal Memories

Memory means less repeating yourself. This release gives you more control — choose when and where Memory is used, and decide what to forget. As you tailor Memory to your needs, Chat becomes more relevant and helpful with every interaction.

Dia Browser

🪞 Sharper answers. We’ve made some prompt updates under the hood to help Memory focus on what matters, reduce repetition, and adapt as you go.

👥 Profile-level control. You can now enable or disable Memory for each Profile in Settings. Perfect when you want to forget about work or remember your school projects.

Dia Browser

🧹 Forget anything. It’s easy to remove Memories that aren’t relevant or feel incorrect. Click Personalized with Memory, then use the menu to delete a specific item.

🗣 Per-Chat Personalization. Temporarily disable Personalization (which includes both Memory and written instructions) by clicking the signature button on the top right corner. Chat will answer neutrally until you flip it back on.

Plus some major boosts to performance and security:

  • When browsing in a split tab, open links on the righthand side by holding Shift+Option while clicking. A simple shortcut to keep things tidySafety alerts are more accurate thanks to improvements in how Dia detects real risks and filters out the noise. You’ll only be notified when something really needs your attention.
  • Download notifications are clearer and safer they no longer show the website address where a file came from. This helps prevent confusion or spoofing by tricky domains, so what you see is exactly what you downloaded.
  • The downloads menu also pops up when it should and includes all of your previous downloads thanks to some fixes under the hood.
  • Profiles that aren’t being used will automatically unload to free up memory and keep Dia fast. To switch profiles, just click the toggle in the top left corner.
  • Bluetooth dialogs now display the full web address when something’s trying to connect, so you can clearly see exactly who is making a request before you approve it.

We'll be back with more next week!

Dia’s more powerful and personal with every new release. And it’s all thanks to your feedback. If anything’s not right — with Chat, Memory, or something else — please let us know!

Thanks for the memories,

💗 Your friends at Team Dia

Dia Browser

📅 Insights on invites
Dia can read more from Google calendar, including attendee lists, event descriptions, and video call links. Perfect for start-of-week planning or quick pre-reads before you meet.

💬 Thinking you can see
As Chat reads attachments and websites, you'll see even more details about each step. And when multiple pages are involved, you’ll get a dropdown view so you can check your sources in real time.

Plus some powerful tweaks beneath the hood

  • Memory now refreshes more frequently, which helps Dia provide up-to-date context as you browse.
  • When using Reasoning, Dia can follow links from attached pages for more robust answers from deeper sources or citations.
  • Fixed a bug where double window buttons (traffic lights) could appear in fullscreen. This should make fullscreen views cleaner and less confusing.
  • Support for Chinese and Korean characters has been improved in the Command Bar. Thanks to all who reported any bugs.

Hard to believe but we’re still in beta. This browser gets better every week thanks to members like you. Keep the feedback coming!
