Outsurf Extension

Even your RAM has a right to be off duty.
Outsurf gives your PC what it deserves.
We help you save time and thus reduce the load on your PC.

Picture this:
You want to go surfing and you have to wait in line at the surfboard rental before you can finally ride the waves. Something similar happens when you want to visit your favorite websites and are redirected to web search first, wasting your time.
Outsurf can help you there. Simply type a shortcut, which you can completely customize, into the address bar and we'll instantly redirect you to the website you want. You can even search directly on the desired page and enjoy even faster what you actually want to see instead of a web search. For example, just type \"wiki\" in the address bar and within seconds you'll reach Wikipedia web page directly.
Skip annoying queues and pushy rentals, we give you the surfboard immediately! When and how you want.

Of course, we do not store any of your personal data and offer you the possibility to uninstall Outsurf in no time if you are not satisfied with it. Also feel free to use our feedback form to help us make Outsurf even better.
