I read that https encrypts your information. So for example your isp won’t know exactly what you’re looking at, just the website you’re connecting to. My question is how far does that encryption go. If I google “what does https do?” how does google know I looked that up if my connection is supposed to be encrypted?
Another example would be youtube. From what I understand my isp would know I’m on youtube and likely watching a video due to my bandwith, but they wouldn’t know which video I’m watching. However youtube would know. Why is that?

The information between your browser and google’s servers is encrypted. Think of it like a sealed envelope that only the site you’re communicating with can open. The search you typed gets decrypted on their servers before their software processes the search.
