<p>A <em><code>WindowProxy</code></em> object is a wrapper for a <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window">Window</a></code> object. A <code>WindowProxy</code> object exists in every <a href="/en-US/docs/Glossary/Browsing_context">browsing context</a>. All operations performed on a <code>WindowProxy</code> object will also be applied to the underlying <code>Window</code> object it currently wraps. Therefore, interacting with a <code>WindowProxy</code> object is almost identical to directly interacting with a <code>Window</code> object. When a browsing context is navigated, the <code>Window</code> object its <code>WindowProxy</code> wraps is changed.</p>
