It's not a dumb question, since it's a natural assumption. But HTTPS - specifically HTTP over TLS - establishes the secure tunnel to the particular domain (reddit.com) first, and only then transmits elements of the HTTP protocol, such as the path, any query parameters, and so on.
I believe that TLS could be used (and is used) in combination with other protocols, which only require the domain to use for DNS. Everything after that in the URL bar is HTTP-only.
- searchableguy 6y agoDNS over https solves the problem of plain text DNS. Firefox already supports it. Also check more about ESNI since ISPs like jio employ SNI inspection to block sites - https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/what-is-encrypted-sni/ https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/what-is-encrypted-sn... Cloudflare has a small demo which you can use to test your browser and learn more about specific parts - https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/ https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/
