Makes sense. How about apps? I often read about popular apps that are not encrypting their traffic.

It's basically the same. Nowadays there barely is any app that isn't using HTTPS

This has been a problem like 5 years ago though. Like TikTok hasn't been encrypted for a long time. If you're worried, use a VPN-Tunnel that you trust.

Nowadays the only thing that is unencrypted is the site you're accessing since the DNS protocol isn't encrypted, but that's also changing with the adoption of DNS over HTTPS
