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.

I've started using Duckduckgo, less specifically for the search and more for the bangs. Fed up of search surfacing sites they care about. I can now quickly search wikipedia with !w etc.

I host my own searx instance and use that to search, it supports all of DDG's bangs by default if you begin a query with a double bang !!
