What is Zero Ad Network
A Better Web for Everyone
Zero Ad Network is a browser-based platform that gives users a cleaner, faster, and more private web experience while helping creators get fairly compensated.
Here's what we do when our paid subscribers visit your site:
How It Works
Step 1: Add your site
You decide what our users will get:
Step 2: Install and set up our backend SDK
Our lightweight and performance-optimised SDK detects if your visitor is one of our subscribers. The SDK then tells your site what features to enable.

Frequently Asked Questions
By joining Zero Ad Network, you can reach a growing number of subscribers while providing a cleaner, ad-free experience:
CLEAN_WEB feature: Your site won't show ads, cookie consent pop-ups, marketing dialogs, or third-party trackers to our subscribers.
ONE_PASS feature: If you run a SaaS or paywalled site, you can offer free access to basic subscriptions, with paywalls removed for subscribers.
At the end of each month, you'll receive a share of subscriber plan fees based on their engagement with your site, using anonymized telemetry from our browser extension.
This is a way to make your site feel clean and obstruction-free, while earning additional revenue from users who would otherwise use ad blockers.
Absolutely! We value websites that provide a clean, ad-free, and high-quality experience. Since your site doesn't serve ads, track users, or hide content behind paywalls, you deserve to be rewarded for the time, effort, and resources you invest.
By joining, your site will help promote quality content across the web - and if our subscribers visit your site, you'll earn monthly payments based on their engagement.
It depends on how your website is built. Most content management systems at least allow adding HTML META tags.
We also provide several modules (server-side extensions) that help verify subscriber tokens and conditionally disable ads and tracking, or enable premium content for our subscribers.
For detailed instructions, please visit our Developer Portal to learn how to integrate your site with Zero Ad Network.
Our browser extension tracks which partner websites subscribers visit and how much time they spend interacting with your content.
At the end of each month, we use this data to fairly distribute subscription revenue. Publishers receive a share proportional to the time subscribers spent on their sites.
The more your site is visited and engaged with by our subscribers, the more revenue you earn each month.
Yes. Each subscriber receives a unique ED25519 token, cryptographically signed with our private key and valid only for the subscription period.
Our browser extension sends this token via the X-Better-Web-Hello request header. Partner websites can verify the token's integrity using our public key through server-side modules we provide for popular programming languages and content management systems.
For detailed integration instructions, please visit our Developer area.
No personal information is included in the token. Each subscriber token contains only four fields:
- Token version
- Subscription expiration timestamp
- Enabled features (CLEAN_WEB, ONE_PASS, or both)
- A generated number (seed) to randomize the token value
We deliberately exclude any personally identifiable information to protect user privacy, sharing only what is necessary for partner sites to monetize effectively.
No. The subscription token should not be used as a user identifier, as its value rotates periodically. We recommend continuing to use your existing user authentication system.
Yes. Similar to how users browse websites with our browser extension, they can attach their subscription token to their API requests. You would then report usage summaries - such as total requests and response times - to us.
This feature is still in early stages, but if you're interested, please email us at [email protected].
From Vision to Execution
Hello World! This idea has been with us for a long time - to make the web a better place for everyone - but it has only recently taken shape. Over time, it evolved into what you see today.
The journey hasn't been easy, technically or socially, but it's been deeply rewarding. We wanted to create something that genuinely improves the web experience for everyone. This vision is what pushes us forward.
