Wow, tiktok.com steadily ranking at #3, more popular than facebook.com, amazon.com, apple.com and netflix.com, only behind google.com and microsoft.com. Really curious to see detailed stats.
I can see tiktok being more popular than apple, people watch videos much more often than they buy phones. But microsoft being more popular than tiktok? What's so popular on that site?
If they're just using DNS lookups, probably windows update, telemetry, crash reports and other automated traffic.
Also, verizonmedia.com at 8th place? What's on that site? Some type of CDN?
Verizon Media afaik is EdgeCast or related, but I’m not 100% sure.
Cloudflare says they exclude "content servers"[1], I assume that means CDNs. https://www.verizonmedia.com/ says it is an ad network, including video ads, with brands like Yahoo, HuffPost and TechCrunch.
