If you are tired of slow-loading websites and cookies tracking your every move online, Scroll now offers subscribers a different type of internet experience. For $4.99 a month, subscribers can access websites that load twice as fast and that have 80% fewer trackers. Subscribers can also browse and read completely ad-free on 300+ participating websites. Up to 70% of user subscription fees support partner websites, and Scroll keeps 30% to fund their operations.
Scroll talks about its rationale for building a better way to browse in a January 28 blog post.
The internet was meant to feel magical…increasingly the internet is feeling less like something built for us and more like something done to us. We navigate slow-loading pages with auto-expanding video ads, misleading headlines, and widgets full of junk links. Were told our privacy is important as our data is captured and sold, wrote Scroll.
This isnt working for the sites either. Ad revenue is going to the big platforms and our favorite sites are closing down, laying people off, or doubling the ads on the page to survive. Weve ended up on the darkest timeline and no one is happy, Scroll added.
