Yeah but apple gave in to Chinese government and all their server in China are under monitoring of the CCP, the party have keys to decrypt every bit of data that goes through them, Chinese icloud private relay included.

That's like when apple still refuses after years to fix the airdrop protocol so that Chinese police forces can't find anymore who sent what file to who. Since 2022, Chinese police forces openly brag about the fact they can retrieve the identity of people who spread unallowed propaganda through airdrop in crowded area.

Good guy apple for pretending to do the right stuff but no one should rely on them.

Like a VPN except tied to your location, financials, cloud storage and devices! Great!
Ya its less for anonymity and more to prevent unsecure sites and wifi from leaking credentials
I don't see how this could prevent unsafe sites leaking credentials (Assuming unsecure == No TLS) as unencrypted data will be sent through the exit node to the web server. It does however help for wifi snooping.
i sort of meant it as a combination, unsecure sites on rogue wifi
