They are scanning 127.0.0.1 locally from the browser, so the ports do not need to be internet-accessible.

They are open ports which are accessible to the Internet at large. Or at least, any site you go to. If you don't like that there are various means to close off those ports to your browsers (Windows firewall, network namespaces, etc).
