Surf Browser Extension

Surf is a free and easy-to-use browser extension that rewards you passively for your everyday web browsing. Unlike other platforms, Surf requires no surveys or ads — you simply earn points from the data you already share naturally.

With Surf, you can redeem your accumulated points for gift cards and items from popular brands, effectively turning your browsing time into real rewards. Additionally, Surf prioritizes your privacy by providing full transparency and control over the data you share, allowing you to view and manage it anytime.

Currently available to users in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Ireland, Surf plans to expand to more regions soon. Join the Surf community and start earning effortlessly without changing how you browse the web!

Recent reviews

Their payout options is lackluster and unsatisfying. Would not recommend using Surf. Ever since last year their offerings for rewards dwindled and now they do not offer anything else. The Rewards isn't as good as cash. Most you get is discounts. Not items.

Its easy enough to generate points, but a lack of rewards makes this a con. I wrote to the company siting this only to be told that it wouldn't be economically viable to pay all users. I uninstalled the add-on after a few months as I should have earned £40 of their sold-out vouchers and I can't see them coughing up the money anytime soon.
