Ask HN: Other books in the style of HTTPS://hpbn.co/?

The book High Performance Browser Networking was absolutely fascinating because it explained the history, challenges and design decisions of the Internet in a high level way (no deep tech background necessary), allowing me to keep that knowledge in the back of my head when developing web applications.

Are there similar books like this?

Perhaps about browsers in general?

Understanding stuff like „display: none is costlier than opacity: 0 because X“ (fake example) would be immensely interesting and helpful.
