# Advertising on pixeldrain
Pixeldrain uses A-ads for its primary ad space. This space is located at the
bottom of the file viewer where everyone goes to download files. The ad will not
show if either the downloading user or the owner of the file is a Patreon
supporter. The ad unit is a standard leaderboard format of 728x90 px.
A-ads is an advertising network which respects the privacy advertisers,
publishers and even the viewers. A-ads only accepts cryptocurrencies for
advertising campaigns. The banners are static images with no javascript and do
not set any cookies in the broweser. You can use adnimated GIF or PNG images to
show animations in your banner ads.
We also employ other ad formats based on the size of the file which is being
shared. If the file is larger than 10 MB we add a little floating pop-up ad in
the bottom-right corner of the screen, and if the file is larger than 250 MB we
add a popunder ad which is displayed when the user clicks anywhere on the page.
These formats are purely to cover the bandwidth costs assiciated with sharing
such large files.

# Brave and Pixeldrain
## <img src="/res/img/brave_lion.svg" style="height: 0.8em;"/> What is Brave?
Brave is a web browser focused on privacy and speed. In some tests Brave is up
to 3 times faster than Chrome and Firefox. It does this by blocking
advertisements and tracking scripts before they even get a chance to load.
Beside the speed improvements this also saves a lot of power and data, very
useful for mobile phones.
Websites look much cleaner without all those advertisements. I don't like
putting ads on pixeldrain either, but I need the money to keep the website
running. Brave tries to solve this by giving users the choice if they want to
see ads. If you opt in to seeing ads from Brave you will receive notifications
with promotional offers once in a while. Brave protects your privacy by putting
the logic for showing relevant ads directly in the browser itself. This way your
browser history never leaves your computer and the tech giants can't follow you
around the web. The earnings from these ads are distributed between the websites
which you love most, a small cut goes to Brave itself for developing the
browser, and some of it goes to you. That's right, you get paid for viewing ads!

The money that you get from viewing ads (and receiving free token grants) goes
into a cryptocurrency wallet which is built right into the browser. Once you
have earned some rewards you have a few options. You can choose to automatically
distribute them between websites which you spend the most time on, you can tip
your favourite websites by pressing the tip button in the address bar or you can
convert the money to your own currency and deposit it to your bank account.
Of course I would really appreciate it if you tipped some coins to pixeldrain
once in a while ;-)
