I'm not sure how netstat is relevant here....  but think of protocols
like AJAX where, indeed, content on a web page can be updated without
any user activity.  Do you have a facebook account?  I frequently have a
browser open to it for days at a time while it updates my feed (in
fairness, that's https: not http:, but the point about long-lived
connections remains valid).
