As in this issue https://github.com/prebid/professor-prebid/issues/82

It would be lovely to use this extension on any website, not just those that have default pbjs naming scheme. Let use define the name that he is looking for in window._"definedName"Globals

Hi @mukero320 ,

just for my understanding: why would anyone change the name of window._pbjsGlobals?

From my understanding It's neccesary to avoid issues with 2 prebid instances on 1 page https://docs.prebid.org/dev-docs/faq.html#can-i-run-multiple-different-versions-of-prebidjs-concurrently

Hi,

if you change the global var name as described, it shouldn't change the "window.pbjsGlobals" variable. If you change your var name to let's say "genesisAds", then "window.pbjsGlobals" should be an array containing "genesisAds" (plus any other var names that other prebid instances might use).

like this page is using 3 different instances: image
