What is the Tranco dataset that this is based on? I mean come on -- anything that claims to be based on 'Alexa' (or any of these others: Cisco Umbrella/openDNS? Majestic? Quantcast?) is sooo suspect. None of these sources are that good and especially Alexa which harks back to a time 20 years ago of browser toolbars and extensions which the large majority do not use anymore.

Just saying yes maybe it's easy to come up with a top 1000 list of sites on the net, but other than that no one really knows unless you're like Google/Bing/Apple/Cloudflare that have redirection urls/DNS control, tracking clicks etc
