News Without the Noise

It can be difficult to read news on other websites, difficult to follow where the next line of the article is, due to all the images and adverts, plus popups about cookies or video ads disrupting you.

9x9.news has no ads, no images, no videos, no pop-ups and nothing to agree to.

Text-only and Safe for work

Even on your lunch-break, when reading mainstream news sites at work it can feel like it is obvious to others you are not working.

Being text-only, 9x9.news is a good choice to read at work, just text and no eye-catching pictures and videos for prying eyes.

The day in one scroll

Nine stories covering news, sports and entertainment brings you up to date. The stories are summarised (you can click through to the main article if you want) so you can be quickly brought up-to-date with what is going on today. There are also temperatues of 9 European Cities and a summary of films on at 9pm tonight, so you can plan your evening. We only bother you with films rated 6 and over.

Data Friendly

If you are low on data or have a slow internet connection, 9x9.new is ideal. Text uses hardly any data compared to images and videos.
