Design
Gorgeous in any light.
Drawn for light and for dark. Surge follows your Mac’s appearance, from the new tab page to the equity ledger, so it looks deliberate at 8am and at midnight.
Equity
Every click builds your stake.
Your Co‑op equity is measured in clicks, or the number of URL navigation events you record while signed in to Surge. When the Co‑op earns a profit, your share of it is calculated as your clicks divided by all clicks. Your equity entitles you to one vote in all matters of Co‑op governance.

Privacy
Your data works for you.
We capitalize on data for the exclusive benefit of our users, who wholly own and control us. We aren’t a privacy company. Here’s what we do with your data, and what we don’t.
Your questionOur answer
Do you use my data to personalize Surge?
We will.
We incorporate your feedback and browsing activity to improve Surge, but we don’t yet personalize Surge with this data.
Do you use my data to build new services?
We will.
This is how we become a big tech company.
Do you show me targeted ads?
We will.
The targeted ads business is huge, and we want our users to get a piece of it.
Do you share my data with companies that work for you?
Yes.
We share your data with payment processors, database service providers, and other third parties so we can operate our services.
Do you sell my data?
No.
We don’t sell raw personal data, but we intend to capitalize on it through product personalization, improvements, and innovations and targeted ads.
Do you collect my browsing data in Incognito?
No.
We don’t collect your Incognito browsing data, and we don’t issue equity for Incognito browsing data.
Do you keep the data that I delete?
No.
Delete your account or any line in your equity ledger and we delete all data that identifies you permanently and instantly.
Who has the final say over your privacy policy?
Our users.
They own and govern the Co‑op that writes it — one user, one vote.
Finer points.
-
Customizations. Choose from tons of colors and themes to suit your vibe. Shown in the default color.
-
One account, iPhone and Mac. All it takes is an email and a password. Sign in to Surge on iPhone and Mac, and every click counts toward the same stake.
-
Delete any click. Rather not keep a visit on your ledger? Select one click or several in Your clicks and delete them. Deleted clicks come out of your Co‑op equity and can’t be restored.
-
Updates itself, quietly. Surge fetches updates in the background. When one’s ready, New Surge available appears in the toolbar. Choose Relaunch to update and your tabs reopen right where you left them.
-
Safe Browsing, built in. Surge checks the sites you visit against Google Safe Browsing and stops you before a known malware or phishing page loads. Its updates are signed, your passwords are encrypted with a key kept in your Mac’s Keychain, and every site runs in its own sandbox.
-
Translate any page. Land on a page in another language and Surge offers to translate it right where you are, powered by Google Translate. One click and the whole page reads in English, or in any of more than 100 languages.
-
Built on Chromium. Surge renders every page with Chromium, the open-source engine behind Chrome, so sites look and play exactly the way they’re built to, and your Chrome extensions install from the Chrome Web Store.
Surge forth.
