In this lesson, we'll be going over how to do cross-tab communication using LocalStorage. Of the three methods we'll be discussing, this one is the most browser compatible method; despite it being a workaround.

In this lesson we'll be going over how to do cross-tab communication using a SharedWorker. SharedWorkers are Web Workers that are sharable across browser-instances (tabs, windows, etc).

We discuss how to do cross-tab communication with a BroadcastChannel, the browser's native API to communicate across browser instances. It's rather similar to using a SharedWorker, just without the worker.
