In a similar but different vein I feel the need to callout veilid. https://veilid.com/ It's like tor meets IPFS except no crypto involved. The idea is it's an anonymous network and data storage scheme that's meant to allow developers to make apps which don't require server infrastructure and associated costs. They want functional easy to use apps to have strong privacy protections baked in instead of bolted on after by powerusers.
Ty for link
This looks super interesting and is new to me; definitely going to check it out, thanks!
Why is this better than tor?
Not better. It's meant for a different niche. The veilid network is not a proxy, but is an anonimized by default network of its own that uses internet infrastructure but does not interact with the traditional web. There are also differences in the private routing, primarily the decision to let sources and destinations both choose part of the chain of chain of nodes traffic is routed through. Again, the idea is to build it into apps rather than putting the responsibility of hiding your ip and identity on the user.
