- It is still revealing what content you browse. For example your ISP may be profiling you. (There are other leaks that reveal the domain to the ISP but hopefully those are slowly being removed as well).
- A man-in-the-middle may replace your innocent content with something unpleasant. This is both bad for the viewer, and harms your reputation (even if it wasn't your fault).
