title: Is there a difference between event loop and task queue in browsers?
body: <p>I am a little confused about some terms in the answer of this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/282271">What is the event precedence in JavaScript?</a></p>
  <p>Is there a difference between event loop and task queue and how big are can these queues?</p>
  <p>Because when I have set an Interval with <code>setInterval()</code> and interrupt this with an <code>alert()</code> then the intervals are dropped for the time where the alert is showing up.</p>
