As I understand, When you run a silverlight application (atleast for case of IE), there is a mini-CLR that build within IE that run as part of the silverlight application.
What happen if I am using some other browser like FireFox, Chrome or Safari. Does these browsers also have CoreCLR embedded within? May be I am just no clear about the architecture as how CoreCLR engine is hosted within different browswers and any info/links will be helpful to understand it.
Silverlight is run in browsers using a browser plug-in, in much the same way as with Flash. To quote the Wikipedia page for Silverlight:
Once you’ve installed the plug-in, you can use Silverlight in IE, Firefox and Chrome. The Wikipedia page I linked to above suggests Safari might not support Silverlight, but I haven’t tested that.
