The data is also shared across tabs. Session storage is scoped to the Browser tab, if you reload the tab, the data will be saved, but if you close the tab, the data will be lost. SessionsStorage is, in a way, safer to use because we avoid risks with bugs that may occur due to multiple tabs manipulating the same values in storage.

In .NET 5, Microsoft introduced Protected browser storage, which uses data protection in ASP.NET core and is not available in WebAssembly. We can, however, use an open source library called Blazored.LocalStorage, which can...
