Bit unfortunate that more than half of the page is dedicated to network requests, but almost all work and complexity of the browser is in the parsing and rendering pipeline.

Will cover the rendering engine in more details. I didn't know at what sections to go deeper. So just stopped and published it to gather more feedback.

Thank you!

And the DOM (though it can be argued that's part of the rendering pipeline).
