Abstract
A computer-implemented method executed by at least one processor performs operations for a web browser running a browser process and at least one renderer process on a computing system. The method includes identifying a webview tag in a web page, the web page being associated with the at least one renderer process. The method also includes forking another renderer process responsive to identifying the webview tag, generating a mapping between the at least one renderer process and the other renderer process at the browser process, and using the browser process as an intermediary for communications between the at least one renderer process and the another renderer process based on the mapping.
