Why It Matters: The Browser Company has been making waves in the browser industry with its innovative approach. Earlier this year, the company introduced a new iOS app, Arc Search, which combines a browser, search engine, and AI to offer a different web search experience.

Deets’s extensive experience in browser design could further bolster The Browser Company’s position in the market.

Last month, The Browser Company also announced that it had raised $50 million at a $550 million valuation. The company plans to make Arc generally available on Windows, Mac, and iOS with a single cross-platform syncing system by this summer, reported 9To5Mac.
