Computer systems and methods in various embodiments are configured for improving the security and efficiency of client computers interacting with server computers through supervising instructions defined in a web page and/or web browser. In an embodiment, a computer system comprising one or more processors, coupled to a remote client computer, and configured to send, to the remote client computer, one or more instructions, which when executed by the remote client computer, cause a run-time environment on the remote client computer to: intercept, within the run-time environment, a first call to execute a particular function defined in the run-time environment by a first caller function in the run-time environment; determine a first caller identifier, which corresponds to the first caller function identified in a run-time stack maintained by the run-time environment; determine whether the first caller function is authorized to call the particular function based on the first caller identifier.
