Mainly, does two things: - refactors SessionState.Source into a richer form (splitting sources into Internal and External, where External ones track information about originating package) - adds persistence of External sources into tab session state; we don't want to persist Internal sources as that was explicitly removed before for causing various issues (e.g. UI behaving incorrectly after restoring tabs with various internal sources set)
Android Components > Browser > State
The browser-state component is responsible for maintaining the centralized state of a browser engine.
The immutable BrowserState can be accessed and observed via the BrowserStore. Apps and other components can dispatch Actions on the store in order to trigger the creation of a new BrowserState.
Patterns and concepts this component uses are heavily inspired by Redux. Therefore the Redux documentation is an excellent resource for learning about some of those concepts.
