No, but it can take more than the website demands.
For example, browsers these days pre-load links before you click on them. If I remember correctly (and if it’s still implemented like this), Firefox by default would only do a DNS lookup and TLS handshake, to keep memory+power usage and security concerns low, whereas Chrome optimized more for being as fast as possible, and already downloaded the first webpage files.
