> Thus, people who want more than ad-drivel use the niche browser and have access to a web full of weird and non-profit-focused content.

This is a technical solution to a non-technical problem. If you want to only access esoteric websites, you can do that today. If you want to block ads and tracking, you can do that today. If you want to only visit websites that don't require ad support, you can do that today.

What you need is a way to pay people for content so they don't need to have ads. Can you solve that problem?

Peer-to-peer web where people don't need to pay for servers but donate some disk space and network bandwidth to participate. The content generated by passionate people that only wants their content to be out there, not make money out of it. A p2p geocities if you will.

Can't we do this now? We will already have websites that are funded this way.
