Steadily improving. I set up my webserver with ech which is the next step, hiding even the domain. A solid chunk of the internet uses cloudflare as an intermediary, which also has ech and only leaves "someone connected to some cloudflare page at this time for that amount of data".

As more places roll out deep package inspection, I'm sure in due time more randomization for package sizes will follow, making even the amount of data uncertain.

Most web metadata is at the http layer anyway and has always been hidden by https.
