In the UK your ISP has to store your entire browsing history for a year. Multiple agencies have access to this data without a warrant.

So my usecase is simply preventing my ISP from knowing what I browse and from keeping this record. I'd much rather take my chances with a VPN company than my ISP and the British government.

I never understood the details of it: So if you download 2GB from SSH, does it have to store it, encrypted, as is? Or just the IP packet headers, i.e. where from and where to, in which case it is practically useless?

Correct, it's just a log of IP addresses that you "visited" which is why I really struggle with it. Visiting any website can hit hundreds if not thousands of IPs, without your knowledge or any intent behind it.
