FastWeb
FastWeb is a free and open-source browser extension designed to enhance navigation on search engine results pages. It addresses the challenge of slow or inaccessible links by reviving dead links, accelerating the loading of live ones, and providing quick access to alternate domains and personal bookmarks directly within search results. The extension is intended for users who frequently search using engines such as Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex and want a faster, more efficient experience without compromising privacy.
Among its features, FastWeb displays a compact popup overlay on search pages that shows alternate domain links and related bookmarks, without altering the original search results. Users can manage their own lists of alternate domains or use the built-in collection of known mirrors and official alternates. The extension also offers an acceleration mode, which pre-warms DNS, TCP, and TLS connections for top search results as soon as the user hovers over them, resulting in faster page loads when clicked. Bookmarks relevant to the search are shown directly on the search engine results page, reducing the need to navigate through folders. Theme customization is supported, with automatic detection of dark or light mode and manual override options.
FastWeb emphasizes privacy by operating fully locally within the user's browser. It does not collect analytics, track browsing history, inject ads or content, or send any data to external servers. No accounts are required, and all user data remains on the device. The extension supports exporting and importing domain lists as JSON files, enabling users to transfer settings across devices easily.
The extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers, with Opera support planned. FastWeb's source code is released under the MIT license, allowing users to review, contribute to, or fork the project. Its privacy-first approach and open-source model make it suitable for privacy-conscious individuals seeking to optimize their search engine workflow.
