Freenet Review
Screenshots
Freenet is a Java-based application that provides access to the Darkweb, which is a "secret" internet that is not indexed by search engines like Google. It is primarily used by individuals who want to maintain their online anonymity or those facing political repression on the regular internet. However, it is important to note that the Darkweb also harbors illegal content. Freenet connects users to one another, making it difficult to trace their activities. It offers anonymous surfing within the Freenet network, ensuring no censorship or monitoring. However, it does not allow users to browse the regular internet anonymously.
Freenet has a simple interface and functionality. Pages on Freenet are hyperlinks that download to the user's computer, which can take some time to open. The main gateway to content on Freenet is called "Linkageddon," but it comes with a clear warning that some of the material is highly offensive and not suitable for minors. Overall, Freenet is an intriguing project that promotes freedom of information, reminiscent of the early days of the internet. However, users should exercise caution as much of the content on Freenet is illegal or offensive.
