Imagine if the web didn't suck.

The Marty cut. The other presentation was too polite, so they let me remix it.

The problem

The web is a dumpster fire with a login screen.

You came here to read one thing. The dumpster has other plans.

A calm cartoon person at a laptop, thumbs up, completely surrounded by pop-up windows, bells, and warning dialogs

you, trying to read the news

Every website wants three things: your email, your location, and your dignity.

Too much of the web was built by unscrupulous people who treat your attention as something to extract, not something to respect. You leave with 14 accounts, 6 subscriptions, and a cookie banner that follows you like a debt collector.

he has 847 partners and all of them are like this

Cookie banners are just popups that went to law school.

"We value your privacy" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

A lemur holding up a paw: thank you, but no

It doesn't have to be this way.

We checked. Twice. A website can just be a website. Wild concept.

The solution

We are Clear.

A volunteer project to un-junk the web, one page at a time. No investors breathing down our necks. No growth hacks. Just people who got tired of closing popups for a living.

A grid of twelve human faces, every age and every kind

Our belief

Human first.

Radical idea: build the site for the human reading it. Not the advertiser. Not the tracker. The human. We believe in the fundamental dignity of every human person.

Humans matter. (The bots are furious.)

Target with a teal dart right in the bullseye

⭐ Our Mission

Make the web clearer and faster.

If a page needs a tutorial to close its own cookie banner, the page failed. Not you. Never you.

our moderation team, basically

Kind by design.

Anything social here is gated, vetted, and vouched for. Trolls get the door. Kind people get the keys. Even our ranking algorithm, K Rank, weighs a page by the kindness standing of whoever recommends it.

Kindness is priority one. Rudeness gets swept.

⚡

Fast.

Our pages load before the other guys finish asking whether you accept cookies. Homepage under 1MB, and every page shows you its own speed: the little lightning button in the corner. Go ahead, check. We insist.

No ad tracking.
No pop-ups.
No spam. No crap.

Nobody here is building a file on you. We don't want your data. Honestly, we barely want our own data.
