Well, your ISP likely _doesn't_ know which sites you are going to.

In the old days, they'd run proxies, but with SSL, they no longer know where they are going, only that they are, for example, going to an AWS or GCP site.

SSL (and most DNS queries) expose the hostname

Unless ECH and DoH are enabled, which I believe has been the default on Chrome and Firefox for a few years now.

ECH rollout is limited. But hopefully one day.
