Looking at it briefly, Tor support is a bit misleading. It only protects content authors and seeders, and not viewers. (Someone could just inject an external image reference to reveal their true IP address as HTML seems to be not sanitized.) This seems to be the key difference from Freenet.

Well, that's an easy fix - view the page in the Tor browser too. Or better yet, run the whole rig inside a VM which is forcibly routed over Tor transproxy. Of course - this is sort of Tor abuse and freenet is the better solution for this purpose, but if you need to view something over this in (relative) anonymity, it is still possible.
