While I agree with the other people in this thread pointing out that the web practically is the internet for the average user, I think this is an opportune moment to mention that Gemini exists, free of any kind of mass surveillance or advertising. It's like the web prior to Eternal September. I even have my own Gemini capsule[0] which has a live web mirror[1] statically generated from the former's content. Granted, Gemini is vanishingly obscure and relatively inaccessible compared to the web, but it's still cool that it exists.

And most of the functionality people want out of the web.

It's a neat project, but it's not responsive to the problem at hand. By design. And that's fine. But it remains nonresponsive.
