    In the title you wrote "while navigating to another page". That part I don't understand. If you navigate to another page (either due to the user explicitly doing so, or from your JS code), the WebGL content will automatically be closed? So why/how do you want to close it?

    I've got a single-page web app that hosts the game. If the user navigates away from the game, I need to be able to shut it down. I haven't been able to figure out a clean way of doing that. I've tried calling Module.exit(), Module.abort(), but the game still keeps trying to access the canvas even after everything is removed.

    There is currently no simple way to my knowledge to completely unload an emscripten exectuable and all it's code. My recommendation would be using an iframe.
