The Web is described as 'The most known form of internet. The world wide web' and is an website in the online services category. There are nine alternatives to The Web, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux and Self-Hosted apps. The best The Web alternative is I2P, which is both free and Open Source. Other great sites and apps similar to The Web are Hyphanet, IPFS, ZeroNet and I2Pd Browser Bundle.
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".
IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the web. It is like a single bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides an interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in.

ZeroNet uses cryptography (Bitcoin library) and BitTorrent DHT (centralized trackers) to build a distributed censorship-resistant network.
The I2Pd Browser Bundle is a folder consisting of Purple I2P/I2Pd & Portable Firefox.
Hypercore Protocol is a peer-to-peer data network built on the Hypercore logs. Hypercores are signed, append-only logs. They're like lightweight blockchains without the consensus algorithm. As with BitTorrent, as more people "seed" a dataset it will increase the...

Named Data Networking (NDN) is an architectural realization of the broad Information Centric Networking (ICN) vision that enables communications by named, secured data at the network layer.
This project was created in order to support a new internet. One that is more open, free, and censorship-resistant in comparison to the old internet. An internet that eventually wouldn't need to rely on telecom towers, an outdated grid, or all these other "old...
