I was looking for something different from Tor and not like I2P. Someone give a look on Lokinet? What's your thoughts?
Edit : I know that is based on oninon nodes I mean about the privacy feature and what have to offer more

Just stick to signal, briar and matrix for now, this network still needs to stand the test of time
Those are messaging apps, totally different things. What OP tells about is overlay networks over the internet that hide your traffic.
Briar is a network it uses tor as well
Tor is to lokinet just as briar is to session
Can also recommend signal and matrix
Briar is probably the best of the 3 except that it uses too much battery
Not for privacy it isn't
can you explain how briar isn't the best for privacy?
That is because I had Matrix and briar confused. Matrix is the one with no forward secrecy or whatever it was called. If someone gets your Matrix key, they have all your previous messages.
No they don't, matrix has partial forward security, it does rotate the keys for messages, not for every message, but it does rotate them for all users in an encrypted room if a user has a new login so that session can't read past messages until it gets keys shared by verifying with another session, same for when a user joins the room and maybe leaves the room
If you call it forward security I think you should ask yourself if the dude who swapped names is maybe more correct as he has the right jargon ;)
Maybe edit your reply then
I think downvotes should be enough ;)
