I think you are misreading his comment. He is saying that on a VPN it is standard behavior that if you visit site A and site B they will both see you connecting from the same IP and can infer you are potentially the same person.

Site A and B have to collude in order to make that inference. Outside of Cloudflare, no one is colluding at that level.

  • Plenty of people own more than one website. You're also forgetting about random site assets like web fonts, CSS, JavaScript CDNs, etc. etc.

  • That would only be true if there were no ad networks.

    But today’s internet is essentially a giant ad network.
