We turned off the ad pinned to the bottom of the screen

Starting November 1, the anchor ad that stayed at the bottom of the screen as you scrolled is off on every page, on both phones and computers. Other ad spaces stay because ads pay for the servers that keep ROBERIN free, and we are considering placements that get in the way less.

The bottom-of-screen ad is off

November 2026 is here. As of November 1, we have turned off the anchor ad, the banner that stayed at the bottom of the screen while you scrolled, on every page. This applies to both phones and computers.

Because it stayed in place as you scrolled, it could cover buttons or part of a result on narrow phone screens. We chose ease of use over the revenue it brought in.

If you already have a page open, the ad may stay there until you reload the page.

Why we cannot remove ads altogether

Every ROBERIN tool is free to use, with no sign-up or payment. The server, domain and storage still cost money every month, and ad revenue is what covers it.

So the ad spaces above and below each tool, the one in the right-hand column on wide screens, and the full-screen ad that occasionally appears will stay as they are.

Rethinking how ads appear

ROBERIN is in the middle of a system overhaul that is improving the site across the board, and we are rethinking how ads appear as part of that work. We are considering approaches that get in the way less, such as taking ads directly for specific tools they suit, or making more use of the right-hand column on wide screens. Once we decide, we will post about it in News again.

For inquiries about placing an ad on a specific tool, please email contact@roberin.com.

We keep the other ad spaces so that the servers can keep running, and we kindly ask for your understanding. If you see an ad covering a button or a result, please let us know through the contact page along with the page address.
