42 Browser Games That Actually Work (No Ads, No Downloads)

The State of Browser Gaming is Terrible

Remember when you could just... play a game? No account creation, no 500MB download, no "watch this ad for extra lives"?

I found (and bookmarked) something special: Funora

What Makes It Different

✅ 42 games, zero ads
✅ No registration required

✅ Instant play on any device
✅ Saves progress locally
✅ Actually fun games

Games Worth Your Time

Puzzle Games

Classic Revivals

  • Snake - Perfect touch controls
  • Checkers - With competent AI
  • Various IO games without the toxic players

Educational (That Don't Suck)

  • Math Fact Lab - My kids actually enjoy this
  • Pattern recognition games
  • Logic puzzles

Technical Observations

  • Pure HTML5/JavaScript
  • Local storage for game saves
  • Touch-optimized controls
  • Sub-second load times
  • Works offline after first load

Why This Matters

The web is becoming increasingly user-hostile. Sites like Funora prove it doesn't have to be this way.

Sometimes the best technology is invisible technology.
