2. Let me clarify this one. I am using the chrome cartoon for reference, page 4.
Can the browser processes send messages to the process manager? For example I would like the process manager to be able to hold onto some information and any of the browser processes be able to access and update that information held within the processes manager. This rest ties in with my other question, I would like this process manager to be able to interact with the OS. Based on the answer to question 3 it sounds like the extension + plugins could do this.
