[Cryptography] Is there a good algorithm providing both compression and encryption at the same time?

A 32768-bit block cipher would make what you are saying true (and would
also be good for hard disk encryption).

But one can determine things with 16-byte precision with modern ciphers.

And one does not usually look at one wikipedia page.

And one does not look for people on a case by case basis.

One looks for patterns. The fact that your name has appeared on this list
may or may not merit the expenditure of an additional hundred thousand CPU
cycles. And there are other things, one does not need to know what web
pages you look at, simply what websites you look at. All resources are
finite. So it all amounts to prioritization.
