Nothing, as far as I can tell. End-to-end encrypted history and tabs, and recent versions with iCloud+ use encrypted DNS and VPN (iCloud private relay) that uses encrypted forwarding so ingress servers can’t tie your requests to a destination.

Outside of using Tor and your own VPN, it looks like Safari w/ iCloud+ protects browsing history from everyone (Apple and ISPs) while delivering a seamless experience.

The "it stores tabs in the cloud" appears to be for syncing between devices. Using private browsing on safari should alleviate those concerns.

> Your open webpages aren’t stored in iCloud, so they aren’t shown when you view all your open tabs from other devices.

> Your recent searches aren’t included in the results list when you use the Smart Search field.
