It's the same with plug-ins.

(It is also possible to map the network by adding a monitoring node, no real privacy leak here for Opennet nodes.) Assume "The Internet" knows you are running a Freenet node. And your ISP (and relevant uplinks) are able to detect that you're running a Darknet node! ISPs should not know what you're reading over Freenet, but I would not be surprised if they could do traffic analysis and determine whether you're downloading or uploading large files.
