Apple has lost another senior figure from its Safari team, with lead designer Marco Triverio departing for The Browser Company. The move, confirmed by CEO Josh Miller on LinkedIn, extends a pattern of high-profile exits from Apple's browser team amid intensifying competition around AI-driven browsing. Miller noted that The Browser Company has now recruited lead designers from every Safari design era overlapping with Arc and Dia development (2020-2025).

The Browser Company positions itself as an alternative to traditional browsers, emphasizing significant new interaction models over incremental updates. Its Arc browser features nontraditional tab systems and collaborative tools, while its 2025 Dia launch introduced AI-assisted workflows directly into browsing. For Apple, Triverio's exit adds to a broader pattern of senior staff departures visible throughout 2025, potentially impacting Safari's innovation pace as competitors integrate AI-driven features.
