    what’s the difference between the engine and the browser itself? is it similar to the Linux kernel vs the Debian user space?

      The engine makes it so HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc. are downloaded and turned into pixels you can look at. The browser embeds an engine for that purpose, but then also has a URL bar, tabs, bookmarks, a history feature and so on.
