I'm not suggesting some of these shouldn't be blocked, depending on context. But they're not Daily Mail domains, so they probably don't belong in this list.

@andrewaylett Out of interest, which websites get erroneously blocked or affected due to these being left in?

@robertybob, cdn.jsdelivr.net is probably the most problematic, as it's a CDN used by many sites for common Javascript modules. I don't recall specifically which one I hit, I'm afraid, but they serve quite a lot of traffic.

Criteo is a retargeting service which I'm really not fond of, but isn't DM-specific. MPulse is Akamai's RUM service, which is used by lots of sites around the web. I suspect both will be blocked by most tracking blockers, but again not specific to the purpose of this list. The akamaiedge domain may be used by any number of Akamai clients, but it's not easy to tell.

(full disclosure: my employer also engages the services of some of these providers, but not JSDelivr. My browser blocks the ones that track regardless)
