Publication number: 20220391231Abstract: An integrated approach is provided to running web applications with various compatibilities that do not require third-party extensions or sacrifice user experience. When a page of an application incompatible with a first browser is to be executed, an instance of a second browser with which the page is compatible is separately invoked and/or executed without opening a window for that second browser. Instead, the second browser opens a page within the window of the first browser. Moreover, rendering and/or contextual information for a page opened via the second browser is provided to the first browser. Such information is utilized by the first browser to provide a visual experience to the user in which the web page is being hosted by the first browser, even though it is in fact being hosted by the second browser.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Adrian Bogdan Guta, Joshua P.H. Tseng, Stefanie K. McCallum, Navin Agarwal, Corey M. Bloodstein, Thomas W. Bolds, Venkatraman V. Kudallur, Fredric W. Pullen, III, Tony E. Schreiner, Michael J. Ens, Benjamin J.

Patent number: 10733260Abstract: Web pages compatible with different web browsers are seamlessly rendered within the same tab of a single web browser window. A first browser is executed in a computing device, and has an open browser window. A request is received at the first browser to navigate to a first page. The first page is determined to be incompatible with the first browser and compatible with a second browser. Under control by the first browser, an instance of the second browser is invoked without a browser window opening for the instance of the second browser. An address of the first page is provided to the instance of the second browser. The instance of the second browser renders the first page within a tab in the open browser window of the first browser.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Todd A.

Patent number: 10542106Abstract: Content pre-render and pre-fetch techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a likelihood is predicted of subsequent navigation to content associated with a network address based at least in part on monitored navigation performed by a computing device to one or more network addresses. A determination is then made whether to cause the computing device to pre-fetch and pre-render the content based at least in part on the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ritika Kapadia, Venkatraman V.

Patent number: 9398030Abstract: Various embodiments pertain to ascertaining domain contexts. In one embodiment, an application receives content that may contain a script (i.e. code). In this case, the domain context is ascertained and the script is executed in the context of the domain associated with the received content, rather than requiring the application or some other component to navigate to a location, such as a web location, to attempt to ascertain the domain context of the script. In another embodiment, third party objects or code are required to provide their domain context to an application in order for the application to make a security-based decision.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Govind Varshney, Marc A. Silbey, Shankar Ganesh, Robert Impollonia, Venkatraman V. Kudallur

Patent number: 9015496Abstract: A model restricts un-trusted data/objects from running on a user's machine without permission. The data is received by a protocol layer that reports a MIME type associated with the DATA, and caches the data and related cache file name (CFN). A MIME sniffer is arranged to identify a sniffed MIME type based on the cached data, the CFN, and the reported MIME type. Reconciliation logic evaluates the sniffed MIME type and the CFN to determine a reconciled MIME type, and to update the CFN. A class ID sniffer evaluates the updated CFN, the cached data, and the reconciled MIME type to determine an appropriate class ID. Security logic evaluates the updated CFN, the reported class ID, and other related system parameters to build a security matrix. Parameters from the security matrix are used to intercept data/objects before an un-trusted data/object can create a security breach on the machine.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Venkatraman V. Kudallur, Shankar Ganesh, Roberto A. Franco, Vishu Gupta, John Green Bedworth

Publication number: 20140157360Abstract: A method and system for locking down a local machine zone associated with a network browser is provided. Placing the local machine zone in a lockdown mode provides stricter security settings that are applied to active content attempting to publish within a local page open in the network browser. The stricter setting are provided in a new set of registry keys that correspond to the lockdown mode of the local machine zone. The original security settings remain unchanged so that other systems and applications functionality that depends on the original security settings remains unaffected for the local machine zone. A user may also selectively allow active content to render despite the local machine zone being locked down.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Inventors: David Andrew Ross, Roberto A. Franco, John Green Bedworth, Shankar Ganesh, Venkatraman V. Kudallur, Anantha P. Ganjam, Kurt James Schmucker

Publication number: 20130067314Abstract: In one or more embodiments, processing efficiencies are gained within the web browser by utilizing the display refresh notifications to drive layout processing within a web browser's layout pipeline. By doing so, the browser can ensure that layout computation is performed when the computed layout is actually to be displayed by the computing device. This can enable the web browser to defer and batch numerous changes into a single layout update, thereby reducing overall CPU utilization while maintaining user responsiveness.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Justin E.
