一个完整的浏览器的功能分层

这一部分我不确定从哪里记录的
1.The user interface - this includes the address bar, back/forward button, bookmarking menu etc. Every part of the browser display except the main window where you see the requested page.
上层应用

2.The browser engine - marshalls the actions between the UI and the rendering engine.
中间层，介于上层应用与下层webkit之间的，这一部分在chromium中专门有一个目录，chromium的多进程就是在这一层实现的

3.The rendering engine - responsible for displaying the requested content. For example if the requested content is HTML, it is responsible for parsing the HTML and CSS and displaying the parsed content on the screen.
这一部分是webkit和Blink干的事情。

4.Networking - used for network calls, like HTTP requests. It has platform independent interface and underneath implementations for each platform.
network stack，http协议也是在这一部分实现的

5.UI backend - used for drawing basic widgets like combo boxes and windows. It exposes a generic interface that is not platform
