Now that Google , FB wants to trap us and control every aspect of the Internet browsing, Is it even possible to break free.

TCP has been amended in backwards incompatible ways multiple times since 1993. See e.g. RFCs 5681, 2675, and 7323 as examples.

Plus, speaking TCP/IP isn't enough to let you to use the web, which is what most people think of when you say "Internet". That 1993 device is going to have trouble speaking HTTP/1.1 (or 1.0 if you're brave) to load even the most basic websites and no, writing the requests by hand doesn't count.
