Apple’s Safari loses another lead designer to the Browser Company

Yet another front has opened up on the ever expanding poached Apple designers front, this time on the part of the Browser Company which has just hired Apple’s lead Safari designer, Marco Triverio.

A note from Browser Company CEO, Josh Miller, observes that this means his company has now added the lead designers from every Safari era that overlapped with Arc and Dia (2020 to 2025.

Miller explains what drives his approach. “Our intention is to build the densest, most extraordinary team of AI interface & product talent in the industry,” he wrote on X. “After seeing the way our competitors have mimic’d Dia and other recent developments in AI, I’m more convicted than ever that the future of computing is in the browser layer.”

The company is especially focused on building AI augmented browsers, taking on Open AI’s Atlas, Google Gemini, and Perplexity as it does. The company was acquired by Atlassian last year.

Its existing browsers – both of which will seem highly familiar to any Apple user – include the highly customizable Arc browser which features a built in whiteboard and tools for collaboration. It also offers the Dia browser which integrates AI, collaborative and creative tools all within one interface.

This will run and run, of course, as the intersection between AI and computer interfaces transforms the browser becomes synonymous with all computer interaction – but there will be a lot of players in this space.
