What is Trilzo's Button?

Updated

Trilzo's Button is a novelty discovery site that sends you to random odd corners of the web. Its own tagline calls it "The Internets Weirdest Websites," and the core interaction is exactly what the name suggests: you press a button and get taken somewhere strange. It is built for entertainment and aimless browsing, not for research, productivity, or finding a specific resource.

How the button works

The premise is deliberately minimal. You land on the page, you see a button, you click it, and you are redirected to a site that the operator has picked as unusual. There is no search box, no category filter, and no ranking system described — the appeal is the surprise rather than control over where you end up.

That makes it closer to a "random site" toy than a directory. If you want to browse by topic or verify a site before visiting, this is the wrong tool.

Free tier vs. Button+

The site offers two levels of access, and the difference is the size of the pool of sites you can reach.

Standard button Button+
Site pool The default set of sites 200+ additional handpicked sites
New additions Not specified New websites added frequently
Price Not stated on the page One payment of $4.99
Access duration Not specified Lifetime access
Extras — Support the creator

A few things worth being precise about, because the page is:

  • Button+ is a one-time $4.99 payment, described as granting access for life. It is not presented as a subscription.
  • The upgrade is framed as unlocking sites "normal users don't get access to." In other words, the free button still works — Button+ expands the pool rather than being required to use the site at all.
  • The page does not state what the free tier includes in terms of site count, so you cannot compare the two pools by size from the information given.

Who it is for

This is a good fit if you enjoy curated randomness — the same impulse behind "random article" buttons and link-surfing rabbit holes — and you want someone else to have done the filtering for weirdness. The $4.99 upgrade makes sense mainly if you use the free button often enough that you start seeing repeats, since the stated benefit is a larger and frequently refreshed pool.

It is a poor fit if you need:

  • A searchable index of sites
  • Any guarantee about what kind of content you will land on
  • A tool that does something other than redirect you

Practical notes before you click

  • Expect to leave the site immediately. Each press is a redirect, so treat it as a jumping-off point rather than a place you stay.
  • The destinations are described as handpicked, which implies human curation, but the page gives no content policy or filtering details. Browse accordingly.
  • The upgrade is a single small payment, so the decision is low-stakes — but it is still a purchase, and the page does not describe refund terms.

If the idea of a button that throws you at the internet's strangest sites sounds fun, the free version costs nothing to try. Pay the $4.99 only once you know you like where it sends you.
