Safe Mode — Auto-Recover Broken Pages

Automatically detect and recover pages broken by performance feature injections, so aggressive settings never leave you stuck.

Safe Mode is a background safety net that watches for pages broken by SuperchargePerformance’s more aggressive feature settings. When it detects a problem, it automatically disables the conflicting features on that specific page and recovers it — without you needing to diagnose what went wrong or manually add exceptions. It is on by default and requires no configuration.

How It Works

As SuperchargePerformance applies features like Script Control and Ad Blocking to pages, Safe Mode monitors for indicators that a page is not functioning as expected. When it detects signals consistent with a feature-caused breakage, it flags the page, disables the relevant features for that URL, and reloads it cleanly.

The recovery is surgical: only the problematic page receives an exception. Every other page continues to run your full settings. The exception is stored locally so the recovered page loads correctly on future visits without triggering the detection cycle again.

The default is On. There is rarely a reason to turn Safe Mode off. It only activates when something goes wrong, so it has no impact on pages that load correctly.

When to Use This

  • You use aggressive settings (PRO Script Control, High Ad Blocking) and want protection against occasional site breakage
  • You do not want to manually maintain a whitelist of sites that need exceptions
  • You want to set your preferred feature levels and not think about compatibility again
  • You encounter a site that loads incorrectly and want it recovered automatically on the next visit

Safe Mode is particularly valuable in combination with Script Control and Ad Blocking at higher levels, where the occasional site compatibility issue is most likely to occur.

Privacy

Safe Mode performs all detection and recovery logic locally on your device. No broken-page signals, URL data, or session information is transmitted anywhere. The exception list is stored locally in your browser and is never shared.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a 'broken' page?
Safe Mode detects patterns like pages that stop responding, layouts broken by blocked scripts or fonts, and interactive elements that fail to load — then cross-references these against which features were active on that page to determine whether SuperchargePerformance caused the issue.
What happens when Safe Mode detects a problem?
The affected page is automatically added to a per-page exception list. SuperchargePerformance's features are disabled for that page, and the page reloads cleanly.
Do I need to configure anything?
No. Safe Mode is on by default. You do not need to manually whitelist sites — recovery is automatic.
Is this feature free?
Yes. Safe Mode is completely free.
Will Safe Mode disable features permanently for recovered pages?
Only for pages where a problem was detected. All other pages continue to benefit from your active feature settings. You can review and clear the exception list at any time.
