The Tor onion-router
The inventors of Tor make the penetrating observation that for crowd anonymity to work, you need a large crowd. You have to be able to attract many people who may not have strong requirements but who can provide cover traffic. So it needs to be possible to use it in a way which doesn't have horrible response time, which Freenet apparently hasn't reached. It also needs to be easy to install, which is where Freedom's kernel module design failed.
"Usability is not only a convenience: it is a security requirement."
