Same. I remember first reading about all of this back around...2013 maybe? But it blew my mind at the time. I want to say that the article I read was that last one from Paul Irish, but I'm fairly certain the author of the article was a woman. She had dug deep into Chrome's internals to figure out the rendering pipeline and mostly focused on that. It was a really neat article though it might be slightly out of date at this point.

Probably this: http://taligarsiel.com/Projects/howbrowserswork1.htm

Paul's article references it

Ah yep, that's the one. Thanks!
