- The thread on which a browser processes user events and paints. By default, the browser uses a single thread to run all the JavaScript on a page, as well as to perform layout, reflows, and garbage collection. This single thread is why long-running JavaScript functions can block the thread, leading to an unresponsive page and a bad user experience. ← MDN Web Docs
