Abstract
A rendering engine may be configured to execute, within a execution environment, a page script of a page to be rendered within a browser interface, the page script configured to interact with a page model to implement the rendering. An extension manager may be configured to execute an extension file which modifies a functionality of a browser application in association with the rendering of the page, including detecting a content script associated with the extension file which, during execution, interacts with the page model. An environment manager may be configured to evaluate the page, for example using a blacklist, prior to execution of the content script by the rendering engine.
