     22 // BrowsingInstance class
     23 //
     24 // A browsing instance corresponds to the notion of a "unit of related browsing
     25 // contexts" in the HTML 5 spec.  Intuitively, it represents a collection of
     26 // tabs and frames that can have script connections to each other.  In that
     27 // sense, it reflects the user interface, and not the contents of the tabs and
     28 // frames.
     29 //
     30 // We further subdivide a BrowsingInstance into SiteInstances, which represent
     31 // the documents within each BrowsingInstance that are from the same site and
     32 // thus can have script access to each other.  Different SiteInstances can
     33 // safely run in different processes, because their documents cannot access
     34 // each other's contents (due to the same origin policy).
     35 //
     36 // It is important to only have one SiteInstance per site within a given
     37 // BrowsingInstance.  This is because any two documents from the same site
     38 // might be able to script each other if they are in the same BrowsingInstance.
     39 // Thus, they must be rendered in the same process.
     40 //
     41 // A BrowsingInstance is live as long as any SiteInstance has a reference to
     42 // it.  A SiteInstance is live as long as any NavigationEntry or RenderViewHost
     43 // have references to it.  Because both classes are RefCounted, they do not
     44 // need to be manually deleted.
     45 //
     46 // BrowsingInstance has no public members, as it is designed to be
     47 // visible only from the SiteInstance class.  To get a new
     48 // SiteInstance that is part of the same BrowsingInstance, use
     49 // SiteInstance::GetRelatedSiteInstance.  Because of this,
     50 // BrowsingInstances and SiteInstances are tested together in
     51 // site_instance_unittest.cc.
