SHARING A PROCESS IN A WEB CLIENT

摘要

Configurations for sharing an instance of an executing process for a plug-in based on a session and a cookie data store associated with the session are disclosed. A cookie data store can be associated with a tab running in a corresponding security mode. By way of example, instead of initiating a new process for the plug-in in a new tab, the subject technology can first determine whether a previous tab is running an instance of a plug-in process. If this is the case, the subject technology can then determine whether the previous tab is running in the same security mode (e.g., protected or unprotected) as the new tab. The subject technology then shares the existing plug-in process in the previous tab without instantiating a new plug-in process in the new tab.

1. A machine-implemented method, comprising:
determining that a session associated with a first user interface is also associated with a second user interface, wherein the first user interface and the second user interface are different and provided by a same instance of a client application: determining, based on the session being associated with the first user interface and the second user interface, that a security mode of the first user interface matches a security mode of the second user interface, wherein the security modes of the first user interface and the second user interface respectively indicate one or more operations that are allowed to be performed by the first user interface and the second user interface on a computing device running the client application; and in response to the security mode of the first user interface matching the security mode of the second user interface, sharing a process between the first user interface and the second user interface to access a shared resource for first user interface or the second user interface.
