Description Michael Hoppe CLA 2014-03-26 06:16:52 EDT 
Working with multiple Browser-Widgets in one RCP-Application we need to have separate sessions on the IE. Native OS start of IE 8 and above supports an option -nomerge for this case. Is it possible to set this option while creating a browser widget instance? Or any other way?
Comment 1 Grant Gayed CLA 2014-03-31 14:58:00 EDT 
The embeddable IE control (Trident) is spec'd to be embedded in-process.  Switches like -nomerge/-noframemerging are only applicable at the IE application level since that is where per-tab processes are created.

There currently is no way of getting separate sessions per Browser instance without creating separate processes.  I can't see this changing in the Browser unless Trident adopts a multi-process model natively, similar to CEF3 or WebKitGTK2.

Closing report as a duplicate.
