Layered DOM

Layered DOM Implemented

An investment into making it easier to develop UI within Chromium, the Layered DOM is a website that lives on top of the current active website with a transparent background. This allows us to layer on UI that feels more native to the browser and break the traditional limits of extending Chromium through extension UI. Behind the scenes, the Layered DOM is a separate web rendering instance positioned on top of the active tab.
