Important Upgrade Notice

SurfPal plans to release version 2.1.0 in late June, with a new “Per-Visit Time Limit” feature. Used together with the “Total Time Limit,” SurfPal can limit both overall browsing time and per-visit duration, making site restrictions more effective.

In addition, SurfPal plans to display the block page directly on the current webpage in version 2.1.0. To support this change, the browser will require SurfPal to add the “Read and change all your data on all websites” permission. At that time, after upgrading from an older version to 2.1.0, SurfPal may be automatically disabled by the browser. Please accept the new permission prompt to re-enable SurfPal.

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

For SurfPal, this permission will only be used for website restrictions, block prompts, and related features. SurfPal will not save or upload your webpage content, text you enter, passwords, Cookies, or similar webpage data.

Previously, SurfPal displayed the block page in a new tab to avoid requesting this permission. To make block prompts more direct and stable, version 2.1.0 plans to switch to current-page blocking. This will also lay the groundwork for possible future restrictions based on webpage content.
