    As cloudflare is the gateway for half the Internet and the other half is meta Google and Microsoft, I would prefer to share my IP with the website I visit instead some big tech companies.

    But maybe I get privacy wrong.

      What if the solution is garbage? There are ad blockers that click every ad. Random google searches, random chatbot searches, random clicks.

      I have a feeling that privacy is easier to protect if you just mix what you want to hide with a lot of garbage.

        If a human was manually reviewing your logs, maybe. But that isn't the problem. Your stream is already a pile of garbage amongst billions of other piles of garbage. Programs will find the keywords they are looking for no matter if they are looking in a big pile of garbage or small.
