Node. js is JavaScript on the server. For example, you can start a Node. js server on http://localhost:8000/, and you can access it with Chrome or Firefox.
Yes, the browser and node. js both use the JavaScript software language - but the literal Run Time Environments are different. Node. js, aka server side JavaScript has many similarities with client-side JavaScript.
Another difference is that Node. js supports both the CommonJS and ES module systems (since Node. js v12), while in the browser we are starting to see the ES Modules standard being implemented. In practice, this means that you can use both require() and import in Node.
Node is a runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. It is basically writing JavaScript for the server side. It is designed for building scalable network applications. Node uses an event-driven, non-blocking models that makes it lightweight and efficient.
You are mixing up JS Engine and browser.
Node.js is based on V8, which you confuse with Google Chrome. They use the same JS Engine, but you don't need any part of Chrome itself to use Node.js.
There has been project to port node.js to SpiderMonkey, like SpiderNode or JXcore, but aren't actively developed anymore.
On the other side, Microsoft had worked on making node-chakracore. It has been archived at the end of 2019. It even had some really interesting options on it (Reverse Time Travel for example).
