The BrowserManager is a Singleton manager that acts as a proxy between the browser and the application. It provides access to the URL in the browser address bar similar to accessing the document.location property in JavaScript. Events are dispatched when the url property is changed. Listeners can then respond, alter the URL, and/or block others from getting the event.

To use the BrowserManager, you call the getInstance() method to get the current instance of the manager, and call methods and listen to events on that manager. See the IBrowserManager class for the methods, properties, and events to use.
