## Description

FastWeb shows official alternate domains, your bookmarks, and accelerates link loading — right on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex search pages.

Why FastWeb?

Some websites change domains, get blocked, or move to new addresses. FastWeb keeps a map of domain-to-alternate relationships so you never hit a dead end in search results. One click takes you to the working version.

What it does
<ul><li><strong>Alternate domains</strong> — when a search result matches a domain in your list, FastWeb shows its official mirrors and alternates in a compact panel</li><li><strong>Smart bookmarks</strong> — scans your bookmarks and shows relevant ones alongside search results</li><li><strong>Link acceleration</strong> — warms up DNS/TCP/TLS for top results on hover. Pages load noticeably faster when you click</li><li><strong>Domain bundles</strong> — curated bundle of popular alternates for your locale, auto-updates daily. Add your own or import JSON</li><li><strong>Flexible display</strong> — full panel or compact icon-only badge</li></ul>
Getting started
<ol><li>Install FastWeb</li><li>Click the toolbar icon to open settings (or use the sidebar)</li><li>Load the starter bundle or add your own domains</li><li>Search on any supported engine — alternates appear automatically</li><li>Pin the icon to the toolbar for quick access</li></ol>
Privacy-first
<ul><li>All data stays in your browser — nothing is sent to any server except the optional daily bundle sync</li><li>No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry</li><li>Prefetch only warms up connections (DNS/TCP/TLS), never fetches page content</li><li>Bookmark data is read locally, never transmitted</li></ul>
