I’ve recently discovered freenet, and I’ve been playing with it for quite some time, but I could not really figure out where I could use it. Does anyone else use freenet on a daily basis? And if so, then how?

I’ve been off and on since the way back times. It seems to be frozen for some while ever since the original dev ‘Toad’ went off to do his own thing a few years back. Conceptually it’s a neat idea but suffers greatly from a ‘slowest link in the chain’ problem when looking to fetch sites since any given node only knows their immediate peer rather than the true source on either end of a request.
