User reviews
They sent an email at 11:42 pm my time saying their services were ending that same day. No warning. No clear explanation of what happens to the points we've accumulated. This is not only highly unprofessional but also as if a child was making a last-minute decision and let us know way too late. They've joined a company called Datacy (another Chrome extension), which, if it's anything like Surf, will probably be just as shady/shoddy. This needs to be made right.

The rewards are terrible. Not worth it, but with how many points I've accumulated, crossing my fingers that they bring the good rewards back.

They removed all the useful rewards and don't intend to bring them back.
