Little moments. Big feeling.
This week, Dia finds its rhythm, and (as always) helps you find yours.
Spotify Mini Player
Music is the backdrop to our work days here at the Browser Company. It sets the pace, shapes the mood, and keeps us inspired through our 9-5. Until now, changing your soundtrack meant leaving your current tab—talk about a record scratch.
Starting today, when you hover over your pinned Spotify tab, the Spotify Mini Player appears. Pause, skip, or check out what’s playing, all without leaving the page you’re on.
Here’s a little magic:
When your music plays, animated music notes dance around the Spotify icon. It’s subtle, but it’s almost like your browser feels your playlist, too.
Rhythm isn’t just limited to music, though. It’s also about how your browser moves with you.
Split navigation gets its own independent controls
When you’re working across two panes, flow matters just as much as your soundtrack.
Split View now gives each pane its own navigation controls and address bar, so it’s clearer which side you’re interacting with. Each pane practically behaves like its own window.
You can also move through each pane independently and swap panes to keep the right content in focus, or in the order that works best for you. Compare, reference, or work across two contexts without losing your place—or missing a beat.
Split View changes the composition, but the next few updates change how Dia feels.
Not every change has to be static.
Now, when Dia names a tab group for you, it shimmers into place.
Sometimes you want everything in view. Sometimes you don’t.
You can now hide or show your sidebar tabs using a new toggle next to the navigation controls.
Are these loud changes? No, but you'll feel them. And if you don't, tell us more about the way you work so we can build more features for your specific set up!
