Valve changed the protocol used by the Internet tab of the steam server browser from the legacy master server protocol to the new steam protocol some time ago. The legacy UDP based master server protocol returns an unlimited number of servers in pages, and is still used by game tracking websites, while the new steam based protocol can not ever return more than 500 servers.
This mean you can only ever see the 500 servers which are closest to your resolved geoip location unless you use filters which only match a small number of servers. Unfortunately Valve also returns all official MM servers, which cannot be connected to directly using the community server browser, but still use up the majority of the 500 server limit. If they could hide their official servers from the master list, it would be a step in the right direction.
