No, but extensions have an API to a storage which syncs itself across logged-in devices. So potentially you can have a setup where you create a website and an extension and the extension reads the website's localStorage and copies it to `chrome.storage.sync`.
Sounds like an interesting idea actually.
- nico 1y agoThat's a clever solution I've been playing with chrome extensions recently, and have made them directly talk to a local server with a db. So using extensions, it's relatively easy to to store data locally and potentially sync it across devices I like the idea of leveraging chrome.storage.sync though, I wonder what the limitations are
- porridgeraisin 1y ago> I wonder what the limitations are https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/sync https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web... says that there is a 100kb limit, and a 512 KV pair limit per extension. Quite limiting, but if this pattern becomes popular I don't see why it can't be expanded to have the same limit as localStorage (5MB)
