Mostly because of sub domains. They are counting all the sub domains requests to give the top domains ranking.
Some of those have many trackers and background sub domains that add up.
For example, Linkedin their most popular sub domain is: px.ads.linkedin.com
Here is a more comprehensive list with top 10k domains (including sub domains):

And they are often used with random sub domains as well (but they did not include sub domains in their list).
Ex:

I do the same. 3 different browsers: work, personal and random stuff. Keeping them isolated from each other clears the clutter and my focus when working.

They are also blocking noc.social (another mastodon instance). Wonder if more are impacted.
