I don't understand this point of view. You are either using a vpn or tor if you don't want the planet to leak your info to the world or you are leaking already.

If you are not then sure browsing in an internet cafe or an unsafe network will allow rogue entities to see your interest in parts.

Your browser is fingerprinting you on chrome with an id. You are being fingerprinted with your unique fonts on other browsers. If you have javascript on that opens the floodgates. Logged into facebook still? Browser extension gone rogue? Andriod OS?

I dont think they meant leaking into to TI, they meant leaking more into to ISPs than necessary. Http connections are like a post card, anyone in route can read it. At least with https they have to jump thru more hoops.
