Context aware browser policy

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:

• receive a page loaded framework event from a first compute device running a first browser, the page loaded framework event indicating that a first instance of a page having a domain parameter is loaded on the first browser, the first browser including first settings;
• further receive an external event indicating a characteristic of the first compute device;
• identify, based on the page loaded framework event and the external event, a policy defining second settings for a second browser;
• generate an executable file based on the policy, the executable file including action instructions to:
• change the first settings to the second settings of the policy;
• send to the second browser a load instruction to load a second instance of the page on the second browser with the second settings;
• and
• initiate an external process related to the external event in the second browser;
• and
• send the executable file to a second compute device running the second browser such that the second compute device, in response to receiving the executable file, executes the action instructions.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute a plugin associated with a browser, the processor configured to:
• generate, in response to detecting a first page being loaded on the browser, a first page loaded framework event indicating the first page being loaded;
• further generate a first external event indicating a first device characteristic;
• send the first page loaded framework event and the first external event to a compute device such that the compute device, in response to receiving the first page loaded framework event and the first external event, generates a first executable file based on a first policy associated with the first page;
• execute, in response to receiving the first executable file, the first executable file to:
• change first settings for the browser to first modified settings of the first policy to collectively produce a first settings configuration;
• cause, after the changing the first settings, the browser to load the first page with the first settings configuration;
• and
• initiate a first external process related to the first external event;
• generate, in response to detecting a second page being loaded on the browser, a second page loaded framework event indicating the second page being loaded;
• further generate a second external event indicating a second device characteristic;
• send the second page loaded framework event and the second external event to the compute device such that the compute device, in response to receiving the second page loaded framework event and the second external event, generates a second executable file based on a second policy associated with the second page;
• and
• execute, in response to receiving the second executable file, the second executable file to:
• change second settings for the browser to second modified settings of the second policy to collectively produce a second settings configuration;
• cause, after the changing the second settings, the browser to load the second page with the second settings configuration;
• and
• initiate a second external process related to the second external event.
