this smell like a XY problem, are you experiencing issues with your preferred browser? Let the author know!

No...but sometime browsing the web, blog are displayed with temporary font and after a while correct font are applied and every thing is moving on the screen... Look annoying to me :-)

For Gemini, could also be a way to fake partial refresh of the screen...

Just thinking...
Is it possible to render the browser in a "double buffer" way like in games to avoid apparent partial refresh?

but to reply to original question anyway, I think all current browsers have a mechanism like that. Even ncurses application have an internal buffer used before outputting to the screen, which acts in fact like a double buffer.
