Also, I would like to clarify something in this portion:
"the browser is the client because it is the one truly performing the network requests."
"The real heavy-lifting is done by the browser, therefore the browser is the real client."
As another suggestion, You might want to add a follow up in this statement, clarifying that the browser is "not the only" client available to use.
A server can also be technically a client if it wants to request something to another server.
This is just in my experience because I also thought at first that browsers / mobile apps are the only one who can become the client. It kinda confused me when I was a noob.
I think it's nice to add this up especially for those starting to wrap their head around the client <-> server fundamentals. ☺️🙏
Oh, yes, of course! You are definitely right about this. I actually debated within myself whether I should mention that, but then I figured that for the sake of simplicity, I should probably save that detail for a future discussion.
