Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for controlling access of a custom browser function are disclosed. For example, the method includes a processor that sends a request to a third party website, receives a hypertext markup language code and a browser script, renders the hypertext markup language code, detects that the browser script is trying to access a custom browser function, compares one or more parameters associated with the custom browser function to an access control list to control an access of the custom browser function, and executes the custom browser function when a match of the one or more parameters is found in the access control list.

A method for controlling access to a custom browser function, the method comprising:
- sending, by a processor, a request to a third party website;
- receiving, by the processor, a hypertext markup language code and a browser script;
- rendering, by the processor, the hypertext markup language code;
- detecting, by the processor, that the browser script is trying to access the custom browser function;
- comparing, by the processor, one or more parameters associated with the custom browser function to an access control list to control an access of the custom browser function;
- and
- executing, by the processor, the custom browser function when a match of the one or more parameters is found in the access control list.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for controlling access to a custom browser function, the operations comprising:
- sending a request to a third party website;
- receiving a hypertext markup language code and a browser script;
- rendering the hypertext markup language code;
- detecting that the browser script is trying to access the custom browser function;
- comparing one or more parameters associated with the custom browser function to an access control list to control an access of the custom browser function;
- and
- executing the custom browser function when a match of the one or more parameters is found in the access control list.
An apparatus for controlling access to custom browser functionality, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- sending a request to a third party website;
- receiving a hypertext markup language code and a browser script;
- rendering the hypertext markup language code;
- detecting that the browser script is trying to access a custom browser function;
- comparing one or more parameters associated with the custom browser function to an access control list to control an access of the custom browser function;
- and
- executing the custom browser function when a match of the one or more parameters is found in the access control list.
