What is a browser window reference?

Some actions return a reference to a particular browser window, which is accepted as input parameter by other actions.

Here's a simple example: A "Create Browser Window" action returns a reference to a private Vivaldi window which is then used as input parameter in a "Create Empty Browser Tab" action.

The browser internals are abstracted and unified. For example, a window will be marked "private" whether it is a private Safari window, an "incognito" Chrome window or a private Vivaldi window. Also, window titles are not natively supported in Safari, but Browser Actions adds support for them so you can give your new windows a name no matter which browser you use.
