The Freenet project is trying to create an anonymous, de-centralized, more efficient version of the World Wide Web, which can be easily accessed using MacFreenet, a Macintosh front-end to the Freenet Server:

"Unlike the Web, information on Freenet is not stored at fixed locations or subject to any kind of centralized control. Freenet is a single world-wide information store that stores, caches, and distributes the information based on demand. This allows Freenet to be more efficient at some functions than the Web, and also allows information to be published and read without fear of censorship because individual documents cannot be traced to their source or even to where they are physically stored."
