Understanding Web Browsers: Behind the scenes of modern web browsers


Hi folks,

As a web designer/developer we bring our site to life on a web browser. Browser's have come a long way from being just a small software to access web, to a place where large complex web applications run. Browsers are so integral for our workflow we use it everyday, but most of us rarely know what goes behind the scenes of a browser. As a web designer/developer learning the internal functioning of a web browser helps us make better decisions and create better web applications/sites.

Today we are going to share a article that shows a in-depth understanding of how web browsers works. Its the result of comprehensive study and research done by Israeli developer Tali Garsiel. Over a few years, she reviewed all the published data about browser internals and spent a lot of time reading web browser source code. It was first published in her website, But its not that readable. So Paul Irish from google has cleaned up the article and published it here.
