The technical details roughly boil down to "your browser lets internet sites talk to local services"; in this case if they cooperate they can identify each other, but cf. https://mrbruh.com/asusdriverhub/

In practical terms this is a privacy leak a couple bits more informative but slightly less robust than "these requests are coming from the same IP address."
