Chromium Architecture and Navigation Flow


Listen Later

These documents provide a comprehensive look at the inner workings of the Chromium browser, focusing primarily on its multi-process architecture and the lifecycle of web page navigation and network requests. The sources detail the structural organization of the Chromium source code, dividing it into main parts like the browser and renderer processes, and explain the importance of the internal threading and task management system for maintaining browser responsiveness. Furthermore, they cover the technical steps and APIs, such as chrome.webRequest and chrome.webNavigation, that allow observation and interception of HTTP traffic and navigation events, while also discussing performance optimization techniques like speculative loading (prefetching and prerendering). The compilation of information serves as essential documentation for developers interested in contributing to Chromium or building browser extensions.
