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 !!
Not advocating for Google here, but you can do that with “site: wikipedia.org” as a search operator in Google.
Yeah but that’s slower and not using the sites specific search
desire to know more intensifies
Bangs are awesome, and so are the Vim keybinds
Kagi has a “small web” search option, as well as an RSS feed and bare-bones front-end. https://blog.kagi.com/small-web
People aren’t putting content much on the open web as they used to as well. Think the high point was when blogs were a thing, the second high point was during the Geocities et all free webspace peroid.
