IPFS Companion is described as 'Harnesses the power of your locally running IPFS node (either through the IPFS Desktop app or the command-line daemon) directly inside your favorite Chromium-based or Firefox browser, enabling support for ipfs:// addresses, redirecting content-addressed websites' and is an app in the security & privacy category. There are nine alternatives to IPFS Companion for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, BSD and Self-Hosted apps. The best IPFS Companion alternative is I2P, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like IPFS Companion are Hyphanet, IPFS, ZeroNet and i2pd (I2P Daemon).
The I2P network provides strong privacy protections for communication over the Internet. Many activities that would risk your privacy on the public Internet can be conducted anonymously inside I2P.
Hyphanet (former Freenet) is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish "freesites".
