An IP address is no longer associated with just one website/domain name. There could be thousands of websites running on a single IP address.
As is, anyone can currently look at your encrypted traffic and see in plain text which site you’re surfing to. So this proposal is long overdue.
A government will still subpoena the destination IP for the information if they want it.
ECH protects against warrantless monitoring and other non-government bad actors and I’m happy to see it implemented. If there hasn’t been a strong enough privacy argument to use Firefox for someone to date, this is a big one.
