Abstract
Embodiments described herein enable a browser to display content of a webpage with which it is not compatible. When such a page is to be traversed, a first browser causes a virtual machine that executes an instance of a second browser that is compatible with the page to be instantiated. The browsers communicate via a communication channel for sharing information between them. For example, the first browser provides a URL of the page to the second browser for traversal. Graphical information corresponding to the page is provided to the first browser. The first browser generates an image corresponding to the page based on the graphical information and renders the image in a tab of the first browser. This provides a visual experience for the user in which the page appears to be rendered by the first browser when it is actually rendered by the second browser.
