Now that Google , FB wants to trap us and control every aspect of the Internet browsing, Is it even possible to break free.

Or creating new Internet is a unrealistic idea ?

Seems like all we need is a search engine that only returns sites that don't shove unwanted content down your throat. Tall order though.

Kagi has a "small web" search option, as well as an RSS feed and bare-bones front-end. https://blog.kagi.com/small-web

Kagi has been amazing for me so far. I signed up as soon as they changed the pricing to allow unlimited searches at $10/mo.

I'm still working on my filters and promoting/demoting/pinning sites in my results, but it's already night-and-day better than Google and even DuckDuckGo (which still deserves much respect).

Looks promising if you're on a Mac/iOS setup, but I'm on Fedora Linux, so sadly they don't offer an option for that. If they ever offered Linux support in the future, I'd definitely give Kagi a try.

People aren't putting content much on the open web as they used to as well. Think the high point was when blogs were a thing, the second high point was during the Geocities et all free webspace peroid.
