Important Upgrade Notice

SurfPal released version 2.1.0 in June 2026, adding the new “Per-Visit Limit” feature. When used together with “Total Time Limit,” SurfPal can limit both overall browsing time and the duration of each visit, making website limits more effective.

In addition, in version 2.1.0, SurfPal changed the block page to be displayed directly on the current webpage. To support this change, the browser requires SurfPal to add the “Read and change all your data on all websites” permission. After upgrading from an older version to 2.1.0, SurfPal may be automatically disabled by the browser. Please accept the new permission in the browser prompt to re-enable SurfPal.

This permission prompt may look broad because browsers group capabilities such as “displaying content on webpages, modifying page appearance, and responding to webpage state changes” under this type of permission. Many extensions that need to modify the original webpage, such as ad blockers and page enhancement extensions, usually declare this type of permission during installation.

For SurfPal, this permission is used only for website limits, blocking prompts, and related features. SurfPal does not save or upload your webpage content, input text, passwords, cookies, or other webpage data.

Previously, SurfPal displayed the block page in a new tab to avoid requesting this permission whenever possible. To make blocking prompts more direct and more reliable, version 2.1.0 has changed to in-page blocking. This also lays the groundwork for possible future limit features based on page content.
