Surfaced 作者： Piotr Kacała

Come up for air.

You opened a feed for a quick check. A few minutes later, you are 20 screens deep.

Surfaced is a private Firefox extension that helps you notice endless scrolling before it turns into doomscrolling. It tracks cumulative scroll depth and shows a gentle reminder when you have gone farther than you meant to.

Where it helps

• Social feeds and infinite-scroll timelines
• News sites with endless recommendations
• Forums, long threads, and comment sections
• Single-page apps with no natural stopping point

What Surfaced does

• Lets you choose the first reminder threshold in screens
• Shows follow-up reminders at 2× and 3× your threshold
• Lets you customize the first reminder text
• Supports per-site disable and per-site threshold overrides
• Shows your current depth in the toolbar badge after you pass the threshold
• Works on Firefox for desktop and Firefox for Android

Why it feels different

Surfaced is reminder-first, not blocker-first. It does not lock pages, force timers, or shame you for browsing. It adds a calm scroll-depth cue so you can notice the moment and decide what to do next.

Because it tracks cumulative scroll distance, Surfaced is more useful on infinite feeds and many single-page apps than a simple page-position check.
