A method of displaying a network graph with a computing system includes accessing data defining a network and including a plurality of vertices and a plurality of edges. If a number of vertices included in the network graph is below a first threshold, the network graph is locally rendering with a scalable vector graphics rendering engine of the computing system. If a number of vertices included in the network graph is between the first threshold and a second, higher, threshold, the network graph is locally rendered with a raster rendering engine of the computing system. If a number of vertices included in the network graph is above the second threshold, a remotely-rendered network graph rendered by a remote rendering engine is received at the computing system. The method further includes displaying the rendered network graph via a web browser of the computing system.

The technology includes a method for a computing device (console) to restrict transferring information to others on the Internet. A user does not have to explicitly make a choice of having the console restrict the transferring of information to an external computing device because the technology determines that such information cannot be transferred. When an application is loaded, a NSAL is read to determine whether the application will communicate with an external computing device. A NSAL may include authorized network addresses that an application may communicate with when executing on a computing device. When the NSAL does not include any network addresses, there is no need to obtain consent from a user regarding transferring the information externally because the application does not have the capability to do so. When one or more network addresses are includes in a NSAL, consent from a user is obtained.
