0.13.5 - 2026-08-13

Reduced server resource use between browsing sessions.

  • Chromium starts when the first authenticated client connects and closes two
    minutes after the last one leaves. Pairing, updates, logs, and clipboard tools
    remain available because the lightweight Surf server stays running.
  • Tabs, the active tab, Mobile Websites mode, cookies, and site storage survive an
    idle shutdown. Active downloads delay shutdown, and Surf attempts to recover a
    browser that exits unexpectedly without restarting the server.
  • Browser state is visible in diagnostics and the desktop management page. Server
    operators can change the delay with SURF_BROWSER_IDLE_TIMEOUT; setting it to
    0 keeps Chromium running. This lifecycle was later replaced by the simpler
    supervised model described under Unreleased.

Native iOS and unified Linux, Windows, and macOS packages are attached. Launch surf for the desktop app or run surf serve under a service manager for a headless backend.
