Javascript share sessionStorage among tabs

I am using Javascript with Chrome and I need to share the sessionStorage content among different tabs.

I know that i could use localStorage but I don't want to get the same storage when I open a new Chrome window.

So I need a mix between localStorage and sessionStorage to share the storage among different tabs of the same window, but not among different Chrome windows

Solution

  • I've done some research on the internet and I don't think you can achieve what you want. This is because you don't have access to an instance ID or, for example the PID of an process in the browser. So your client doesn't know which browser you're currently in. You can only make tab cookies unique, not browser cookies.
