Workaround: encode your app's state into window.location.hash

  I've seen this before on an ecommerce site :sigh: Wife: Hey, check out this! [link with embedded state] Me: Wow, I'm logged in as you and can even see your payment information! Let's not buy from this site! Let's not do this. Ever.

    Not all data is sensitive data.

  That works as long as the user keeps the tab open, but if they use a bookmark (or just remember the domain), the hash part will be lost.

    The hash part is not lost to bookmarks, unless Apple broke that too. If it was, no one's MEGA bookmarks would work.

      I mean, sure, the bookmark would save a snapshot, but the user would have to manually replace it every time. Might be simpler to just give them a file to save / load.
