Why msn.com is the 38th most visited website

I recently went on the Wikipedia page of the mots visited websites in July, 2022.

To my surprise, I saw that msn.com was 38th and its ranking increased.

The only time I went to msn.com is when I was redirected when I logged out of outlook.com. That's not enough to explain its popularity though since logging out of email doesn't happen often.

When I used Microsoft Edge, I figured out that when you open a new tab, it also opens news articles from msn.com which are visible when you scroll down 😒.

I've now installed an extension that makes the new tab page empty.
