What I Found
After a week testing Dia Browser, the most useful feature is not basic article summaries.
AI browsers are starting to move from interesting demos into tools you can actually open during the day. I have been testing Dia Browser for about a week, mostly to see whether it is ready to replace Safari or Chrome, or whether it is just another AI sidebar with a browser wrapped around it.
Dia Browser is most useful right now as a research browser. The standout feature is its AI chat sidebar that can work with the page you are viewing, multiple selected tabs, all open tabs, or tabs from a specific domain. That makes it more helpful than a normal article summarizer when you are comparing information across several sources.
