I’m often told that a site I want to visit is unsecure, so I don’t go and am left curious. Let’s say I go to a site that doesn’t have https, but I only go to browse. I’m not knowingly entering any personal information, what would I be at risk of?

If I’m using a well-established commercial VPN, would they be able to know my IP or anything else to show others I’ve used this site?
I’m screening a list of public websites sites for someone. So far, they’re all unsecure, so I haven’t gone to any of them.
Using a vpn in this case would hide some info from the site like your IP address. They would only see the IP of the vpn provider instead of your IP assigned to you by your ISP. However, traffic between you and the site is still unencrypted. As others have mentioned, as long as you don’t enter sensitive info while browsing these sites you should be okay.
