You'll need to a bit clearer as to what you mean by "allow browser
access".

- Do you pass a URI that's inside the sandbox?
- Do you pass a URI and the browser needs to access multiple related
files (say, JS files in the same directory)?
- Do you pass an external URI?
- How does it pass that URI?
- Does it control the browser through other means?
