What about centralizing the internet like Cloudfare is doing? Once corporate greed starts creeping we will find ourselves on the verge of pay per visit a website

You mean centralizing the web? Doesn't bother me. Most of the web is a dumpster fire of AI slop anyway.

There's more to the Internet than the world wide web, though. NNTP and IRC communities remain vibrant, if diminished in size

Are you aware of any projects to replace the current web implementation?

I've noticed the current version is largely accessed by Chrome which appears to be a trojan.

Other than gopher/Gemini, not really, no
