How are IPs "not much"? I get that you mean that they don't see the requests and responses themselves, but you can easily infer interests, life events, other particularities from the request targets and the timings alone.

I mean, 95% of those IPs are just going to be some Cloudflare CDN anyway, right? I think you'd be hard-pressed to infer much real info from them.

Maybe then mask the hosting provider's identity, but surely the different websites have different IPs? Also, there are easily accessible services that aggregate info like this, and also keep record of past IP changes, like SecurityTrails.
