I think the reason why Tiktok is so high on the list is they do an ABSURD amount of DNS requests. I think each video chunk is on a different subdomain...

It's also interesting because their push notifications or background service or whatever does a lot of requests as well.

I was super surprised because I monitor using NextDNS and found this out when one of my top domains was tiktok, and I barely used it!

Oh my god. Is that some kind of laundering-analytics-through-DNS trick? I can't believe that hadn't occurred to me before.

Very sad to see the Firefox with less than 5% of global usage in the last four weeks. [1]
