+#include "chrome/browser/process_singleton.h"
+
+// This class is used to funnel messages to a single instance of the browser
+// process. This is needed for several reasons on other platforms.
+//
+// On Windows, when the user re-opens the application from the shell (e.g. an
+// explicit double-click, a shortcut that opens a webpage, etc.) we need to send
+// the message to the currently-existing copy of the browser.
+//
+// On Linux, opening a URL is done by creating an instance of the web browser
+// process and passing it the URL to go to on its commandline.
+//
+// Neither of those cases apply on the Mac. Launch Services ensures that there
+// is only one instance of the process, and we get URLs to open via AppleEvents
+// and, once again, the Launch Services system. We have no need to manage this
+// ourselves.
