Interact with localStorage from the Console

Since you can run JavaScript in the Console, and since the Console has access to the JavaScript contexts of the page, it is possible to interact with localStorage from the Console.

  1. Use the JavaScript contexts menu to change the JavaScript context of the Console if you want to access the localStorage key-value pairs of a domain other than the page that is displayed.

  2. Run your localStorage expressions in the Console, the same as you do in your JavaScript.
