sign up for our open beta!

Well, we’ve been working hard and fixing all the bugs we’ve come across and we’re ready to open up the site to the public. Anyone can sign up! Feel free to try out anything on the site, even the payment features. During this beta, you can “transfer” any amount you want, but obviously since this is a beta, no charges or payments will actually be made. So, feel free to give yourself $100 and see what it would look like to distribute money to the sites you love. Once we get a few sites willing to help us test, you can also try out the subscriptions whenever you see this button: BetterThanAds subscription button

For now, the beta period is oriented to Firefox users. Since we don’t have many sites signed up yet, we have to fake it, so our extension will automatically add the tracking code to any sites you visit. That way, when you want to see how your usage is distributed, you’ll actually have something to look at. Don’t worry, you can disable this feature just by clicking the logo in your status bar:BetterThanAds extension

Web Site owners are encouraged to take a look at how easy it is to add Better Than Ads tracking and subscriptions to your site. Since tracking is opt-in only, you don’t need to be worried about the privacy of your visitors who don’t want to be tracked.

Would you like to see any particular features? If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We’d love to hear from you, and we’d love to help you keep the web sustainable!

Almost ready for the masses

We’re doing some final testing now before we open the service to beta users. If you want to support the sites you love, get ready. If you run a website and want to generate revenue from your ad-blocking visitors or offer subscriptions, please feel free to read the developer reference or contact us.

We also want to say thanks for all the support we’ve gotten while developing this. If it weren’t for the generosity of the internet community, a voluntary payment system like this just wouldn’t be possible.
