Frequently asked questions
Got questions? We've got answers. Here are the most common things people ask about BORED.
What is BORED?
BORED is a curated directory of interesting, entertaining, and sometimes wonderfully weird websites from across the internet. We help you discover new places to explore when you have nothing to do.
Is BORED free to use?
Absolutely! BORED is completely free. No subscriptions, no premium tiers, no hidden costs. Just click and explore to your heart's content.
How do you choose which websites to feature?
Every website on BORED is hand-picked by our team. We look for sites that are interesting, safe, functional, and worth your time. We regularly check all links to make sure they're still working and haven't changed their content.
What's that creepy eye in the corner?
That's our resident Judgemental Eye. It's bored, just like you, and it watches your every move with sleepy disapproval. If you poke it, it gets angry and banishes you to a random website as punishment. Consider yourself warned.
Can I suggest a website to be added?
Yes! We love discovering new sites. If you've found something amazing that you think belongs on BORED, let us know. We review all suggestions and add the best ones to our collection.
Why isn't my favorite website listed?
We might not know about it yet! Feel free to suggest it. Alternatively, it might not meet our quality standards, or it could be something we're still reviewing.
Do you track my browsing activity?
We use minimal analytics (Google Analytics) to understand how people use our site, but we don't track which external websites you visit. Your browsing is your business. Check our Privacy Statement for full details.
A website link isn't working. What should I do?
The internet is constantly changing, and sometimes websites go offline or move. If you find a broken link, please let us know so we can update or remove it.
What are the categories based on?
Our categories are designed to match different moods and interests. Whether you want to learn something, play games, explore the world, or just zone out – there's a category for that.
Is BORED safe for kids?
BORED is designed to be a general-audience website. However, we can't control the content of external websites, so we recommend parental supervision for younger users.
How often do you add new websites?
We're constantly discovering and adding new sites. Check back regularly – you might find something new that wasn't there before!
Why does the eye make comments about me?
Because it's judging you. Constantly. It notices when you click things, when you scroll too fast, and especially when you do nothing. Don't take it personally – it's just very, very bored.
Can I use BORED on my phone?
Yes! BORED is fully responsive and works great on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. Cure your boredom anywhere, anytime.
What's the light switch in the header?
Try it and find out! It's one of our fun little easter eggs. (Hint: you might need a flashlight...)
Are there any other easter eggs?
Maybe... 👀 Gamers might know a certain code that could unlock something special. That's all we're saying!
