Runtime Modes (Newired version 24.0)
Since version 51.0.0 Web-Extension provides two Runtime Modes.
- Isolated – In this mode Newired Overlay is running in an execution environment isolated from a target web application. Isolation does not only prevent conflictsbetween Newired Overlay and a target web application but also isolates Overlayfrom web application security restrictions (Web-Extension subjects its own ContentSecurity Policies).Isolated mode is useful for web applications with strict security limitationsand its default runtime mode.
- Snippet – In this mode Web-Extension operates in a simpler manner. Web-Extensionjust inserts Newired Snippet into a web application and Newired Overlay runs thesame execution environment as a web application itself. This mode is compatiblewith all versions of the Newired content.
Compatibility
Since version 51.0.0 Web-Extension uses Manifest V3 API which brought newlimitations that impact compatibility between the Newired Overlay and the Web-Extension.
