I've been levelling up on browser internals, and this book is awesome. It helps build up intuition on how browsers work, without going through the millions of lines of chrome code.

As a native English speaker, yes that is kinda weird to be "incredibly irritated" by a sentence that's completely normal and well constructed.
With all due respect, this feels better suited as a journal entry rather than a comment on a HN thread.
Perhaps, but it would have been of little use as a question there.
Once you acquire enough of a feeling for a foreign language that not every bit of your skill in it comes from somebody telling you that a particular thing is said in a particular way, you are doomed to live with a constant suspicion that your feeling is somehow off in a way you don’t recognize. Usually it can be suppressed and ignored, but sometimes it can’t, and occasionally it has to become a question. (I expect this is a fairly common experience.) This was one of those.
