So you want your ISP to MITM-attack your requests? (transparent proxy of your outgoing plaintext HTTP) Outside of unusual local/niche applications, are ISPs even doing this? (with Verizon doing their MITM to add their deplorable X-UIDH head, I suppose this is possible) It would probably be a huge copyright violation for any ISP to cache without some sort of negotiated agreement with the website. If such negotiations did happen, that just moves the anonymity problem from the website to the ISP, ascting as the website's agent. Local ISP caching in traditional Akamai-style was a DNS trick where your browser makes an explicit reqest to the local cache. You would still make the same requests into the cache no matter the transport.
