Abstract

Migrating support for a web browsing session between a virtual machine and a host operating system. A web session is supported by a first virtual machine which executes on a computer system. Upon receiving a request for the web session to enter an unprotected mode, support for the web session is migrated from the first virtual machine to a host operating system of the computer system. In unprotected mode, web sessions are supported by the host operating system rather than by a virtual machine. After migrating support for the web session to the host operating system, a visual cue indicating that the unprotected mode is active is displayed. After receiving a request to exit the unprotected mode, support for the web session is migrated from the host operating system to a second virtual machine executing on the computer system and the visual cue is removed.
