Abstract
A method for dynamically self-adjusting rendering functionality in a browser includes providing a stimulus to the browser, and reacting to the stimulus using the browser so as to direct a change in a rendering module inventory associated with the browser. The stimulus may include a user interaction, a memory threshold trigger, a freshness logic trigger, a change in IP address and/or a change in a browser connection type. The change in the rendering module inventory may be downloading a rendering module and/or removal of a rendering module. A rendering module may be downloaded from a remote server over the Internet.
