When we produced the Google Tasks extension we soon found out users wanted two things:

  1. The ability to resize the window
  2. Google Apps integration

We chose to use local storage to persist these settings because it was more straight forward and reliable than other methods, plus we wanted to take advantage of Chrome’s modern HTML 5 features. Local storage lets you store data in key value pairs on your user’s machine. The data you store is unique to your domain, so creating a unique name for your key isn’t a huge worry.

Prior to web storage, most websites used cookies to store information on the client’s computer. Cookies, for the most part, work great for simple storage. They do, however, have one major drawback. If the user is visiting your site on two separate windows or tabs, information stored in cookies will be shared between them. To handle this case, the web storage in HTML5 has been split into two pieces: localStorage and sessionStorage. The first one works like cookies, saving information for an entire site (origin). The second one, sessionStorage, will store information for each origin but keep it isolated between windows or tabs.
