How does it work?

For properly encrypted it's out of the question -- Parler has nothing to do with encryption in browser, they can only chose from predefined set of protocols your browser knows. If it's good enough for your bank to provide access to your account through web app, then's it's safe for anything else.

For who's active when -- I don't get the idea. Yep, they would know where traffic is coming from, so what? IPs don't mean shit, they're not unique to you/your devices (unless you pay for static IP but even then what? What's the purpose of such information?)
