In 2015, designer Frances Berriman and Google Chrome engineer Alex Russell coined the term "progressive web apps" [14] to describe apps taking advantage of new features supported by modern browsers, including service workers and web app manifests, that let users upgrade web apps to progressive web applications in their native operating system (OS).
The main goal of WebAssembly is to facilitate high-performance applications on web pages, but it is also designed to be usable in non-web environments. [7] It is an open standard [8] [9] intended to support any language on any operating system, [10] and in practice many of the most popular languages already have at least some level of support.
A distinctive feature of the engine is that it JIT compiles scripts on a separate CPU core, parallel to the web browser. [1] [2] Though Microsoft has in the past pointed out that other elements, such as rendering and marshalling, are just as important for a browser's overall performance, [3] their improvements to the engine were in response to evolving competing browsers, compared to which IE8 ...
The most common handler is the ASP.NET page handler that processes .aspx files. When users request an .aspx file, the request is processed by the page through the page handler. [2] HTTP handlers are an essential component of the ASP.NET framework, providing a low-level way to interact with incoming HTTP requests.
Microsoft first introduced the EdgeHTML rendering engine as part of Internet Explorer 11 in the Windows Technical Preview build 9879 on November 12, 2014. [8] Microsoft planned to use EdgeHTML both in Internet Explorer and Project Spartan; in Internet Explorer it would exist alongside the Trident 7 engine from Internet Explorer 11, the latter being used for compatibility purposes.
The FILE data structure in the C standard I/O library is a file handle, abstracting from the underlying file representation (on Unix these are file descriptors). Like other desktop environments, the Windows API heavily uses handles to represent objects in the system and to provide a communication pathway between the operating system and user space.
The ActiveX version is still supported in Internet Explorer and on "Internet Explorer mode" in Microsoft Edge. The utility of these background HTTP requests and asynchronous Web technologies remained fairly obscure until it started appearing in large scale online applications such as Outlook Web Access (2000) [8] and Oddpost (2002).

The hh.exe utility on Windows and the extract_chmLib utility (a component of chmlib) on Linux can also decompile CHM files. Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop and Compiler generate CHM files by instructions stored in a HTML Help project. The file name of such a project has the extension .HHP and the file is just text in the INI file format. [14]
