Surfed 3 - One History for all your Browsers

Release
August 28, 2024

I am excited to announce the release of Surfed 3, packed with powerful new features and enhancements that make it easier than ever to manage your browsing history and links.

What's new in Surfed 3?

Third-Party Browser Extensions for macOS

One of the most anticipated features in Surfed 3 is the support for third-party browser extensions on Chromium and Firefox browsers for macOS. Now, you can seamlessly record your browsing history across these popular browsers like Arc, Brave, Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, ensuring all your browsing history is unified and accessible in one place.

Browser Dashboard

You can now set the Surfed dashboard as your “New Tab” browser interface, customizable for every Space. Alternatively, choose a custom URL as your “New Tab” action.

Updated Browser Extension Interface

We’ve revamped the browser extension interface to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. Navigating through your browsing history and managing your favourites, tags and bookmarks has never been easier.

Raycast and Alfred Extension

We’re introducing new Raycast and Alfred extensions that allow you to access your unified Surfed history, bookmarks, collections, and tags directly from these third-party tools.

Advanced Web Trigger Actions

Surfed 3 introduces a variety of new web trigger actions, allowing you to automate web browsing tasks and customization like never before:

  • Add CSS to website
  • Append HTML to website
  • Replace website HTML
  • Search & Replace website content
  • Close tab, new tab, reload tab
  • Base64 decode action
  • Regular expression match all action
  • Regular expression replace action

Multi-Token Search

The new multi-token search functionality enables you to enter multiple search parameters at once, making it quicker and easier to find exactly what you’re looking for. For example, you can search for: u:foo.bar t:test :ld to find URLs containing foo.bar, titles with test and pages accessed yesterday.
This works seamlessly in Surfed, the browser’s URL bar (su search term), the browser dashboard, and third-party extensions.
Additionally, a new help sheet provides a comprehensive list of available search tokens along with quick tips for using them.

macOS Menu Bar Item Customization

We’ve added a setting that allows you to hide the Surfed search menu bar item on macOS.

Enhanced Web Trigger List Filter

Managing your web triggers is now more efficient with new filtering options by event type and value search. Additionally, you can assign web triggers to specific Spaces directly from the menu, making organization a breeze.

Improved Share Sheet Surfed Actions

The Surfed Actions (Share Sheet) feature now includes an edit URL action, allowing you to modify URLs directly from the share sheet.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Enhancements

For the power users, we’ve introduced a new CLI parameter to set the maximum number of results. This feature offers more control over your data query results.

Enhanced Device Management

Managing your devices in Surfed is simpler than ever with the new options to rename and delete devices directly within Surfed.
