Surfshark updates August 2024
A bit late here but news nonetheless of Surfshark. So here we go!
- Alternative Number and Alternative Number
We recently announced here in post#35 about 'Alternative ID', a product that generates an online name, email, and address, is included in all Surfshark subscriptions free of charge.
Alternative ID now offers auto-fill function
Filling forms isn't a thing all of us enjoy, yes? So Surfshark incorporated an new 'auto-fill' function to ease things up for all users! For those using our Chrome extension, activating this feature is very straightforward. Just look for the clickable Surfshark logo icon in the form entry field and click it!
Post#35 also delved into another update which is — Alternative Number.
This phone number protection add-on generates a virtual phone number to mask your real one from online threats. Use it anytime you need to give out your number but want to keep it spam-free. Let it noted that 'Alternative Number' is sold separately from Alternative ID and can be used exclusively to receive calls and messages. Only USA numbers are available at the moment.
- Release of a native Windows ARM app
Surfshark launched a new app for ARM-based computers, including devices like Microsoft Surface laptops, Samsung Galaxy Books, and more. Whether you own one of these devices or are operating a virtual machine on your macOS, you can now enjoy the native performance of Surfshark directly on your device.
- Alert now monitors even more data
We’ve enhanced our data leak detection tool, Alert, to now include monitoring for malware attacks. This means that if your email address is compromised due to malware on your device, Alert will promptly notify you.
- Surfshar partners with Shark Trust
Our commitment to environmental causes goes beyond the waves. We actively participate in global initiatives and local engagements to support a sustainable future. Last July, for Shark Awareness Day, Surfshark has partnered with the Shark Trust for the second year in a row. We aim to express our gratitude to these magnificent creatures and highlight their crucial role in our marine ecosystems. Check out this article for more details on our Shark Awareness Day initiative.
So there it is! A bit late here but news nonetheless! Cheers!
