`webContents` or `session` level. It is useful for ensuring that your entire
app has the same user agent. Set to a custom value as early as possible
in your app's initialization to ensure that your overridden value is used.
### `app.allowRendererProcessReuse`
A `Boolean` which when `true` disables the overrides that Electron has in place
to ensure renderer processes are restarted on every navigation. The current
default value for this property is `false`.
The intention is for these overrides to become disabled by default and then at
some point in the future this property will be removed. This property impacts
which native modules you can use in the renderer process. For more information
on the direction Electron is going with renderer process restarts and usage of
native modules in the renderer process please check out this
