About Calixo Web

Who we are

Calixo Web LLC is a small independent publisher based in New York. We write for everyday internet users who want to understand what happens behind the screen when they open a web page, without wading through technical jargon.

Our current feature, The Hidden Tab Behind Every Ad-Heavy Page, explains how advertising affects mobile data, battery life and page responsiveness, and how browser ad filtering works.

What we publish

• Plain-English explainers on browsers, extensions, web performance and online privacy settings.
• Practical how-tos for checking things yourself with the tools already built into your devices.
• Advertorials about third-party products, always clearly labelled as advertising at the top of the page.

Advertising and independence

Some of our pages are advertorials: promotional content that describes a product made by another company. Those pages are marked “Advertorial” and carry a disclosure. We do not develop, own or operate the products we describe, and we encourage readers to check each provider's own terms and pricing. See our Disclaimer for details.
