Getting Started

The Browser Storage Inspector tool provides a unified interface for managing all three types of browser storage: localStorage, sessionStorage, and cookies. Use the tabbed interface to switch between storage types and perform various operations.

Quick Start Steps:

  1. Select the storage type tab: localStorage, sessionStorage, or Cookies
  2. View all stored items in the table
  3. Use the action buttons to Add, Edit, or Delete items
  4. Monitor storage statistics at the top of each panel
  5. Use the "Clear All" button to remove all items from storage

Note: This tool works with the browser's actual storage. Changes made here will affect your current session and any applications using the same storage.

localStorage Management

localStorage provides persistent storage that remains available even after the browser is closed. Data stored in localStorage does not expire and is shared across all tabs and windows of the same origin.

localStorage Features:

  • View all localStorage key-value pairs
  • See the size of each item in bytes
  • Edit existing values
  • Add new key-value pairs
  • Delete individual items or all items at once
  • Real-time storage statistics

Persistence

Data persists across browser sessions and tabs. Perfect for storing user preferences and application state.

Storage Limit

Typically 5-10MB per origin. The exact limit varies by browser and available disk space.

Tip: Use localStorage for data that needs to persist across sessions, such as user settings, theme preferences, or cached application data.

sessionStorage Management

sessionStorage provides temporary storage that is cleared when the browser tab or window is closed. Each tab has its own separate sessionStorage instance.

sessionStorage Features:

  • View all sessionStorage key-value pairs
  • See the size of each item in bytes
  • Edit existing values
  • Add new key-value pairs
  • Delete individual items or all items at once
  • Real-time storage statistics

Session-Bound

Data is available only for the current tab. Each tab has its own separate storage instance.

Auto-Clear

Data is automatically cleared when the tab or window is closed. Perfect for temporary data.

Tip: Use sessionStorage for data that should only exist during the current session, such as form data or temporary application state.

Cookies Management

Cookies are small pieces of data stored by websites and used for various purposes including authentication, tracking, and user preferences. The tool allows you to view, edit, add, and delete cookies.

Cookie Features:

  • View all cookies for the current domain
  • See cookie name, value, and estimated size
  • Edit existing cookie values
  • Add new cookies with customizable expiration
  • Delete individual cookies or all cookies at once
  • Set cookie expiration in days

HTTP-Only

Note: This tool can only access non-HTTPOnly cookies. HTTPOnly cookies are not accessible via JavaScript for security reasons.

Size Limit

Individual cookies are limited to 4KB each. Most browsers support up to 20-50 cookies per domain.

Note: When adding or editing cookies, you can set the expiration in days. The default is 7 days. Set to 0 for session cookies.

Storage Statistics

Each storage panel displays real-time statistics about your stored data, helping you monitor storage usage and identify large items.

Size Formatting:

Storage sizes are automatically formatted for readability:

  • Bytes (B): Less than 1KB
  • Kilobytes (KB): 1KB to 1MB
  • Megabytes (MB): 1MB and above

Editing Items

Both storage items and cookies can be easily edited. Click the edit button next to any item to open the edit dialog.

How to Edit Items:

  1. Locate the item you want to edit in the table
  2. Click the edit button (pencil icon) in the Actions column
  3. Modify the key/name and value as needed
  4. For cookies, you can also adjust the expiration in days
  5. Click "Save" to apply changes

Rename Keys

You can change both the key/name and value of any item. If you rename a key, the old key will be removed and a new one created.

Cancel Editing

Click outside the dialog or the close button to cancel without saving changes.

Tip: For large values, the table shows a truncated preview. Use editing to view and modify the full content.

Adding Items

You can add new items to localStorage, sessionStorage, and cookies using the "Add Item" button at the top of each table.

How to Add Items:

  1. Click the "Add Item" button at the top of the storage table
  2. Enter a unique key/name for the item
  3. Enter the value you want to store
  4. For cookies, set the expiration in days (default: 7)
  5. Click "Add" to save the new item

Unique Keys

Each key must be unique within the same storage type. Attempting to add a duplicate key will overwrite the existing value.

Error Handling

If storage is full, you'll receive an error notification. Clear some space or delete large items before adding new ones.

Note: localStorage and sessionStorage throw errors when attempting to store data beyond the quota. Cookies have their own size limitations.

Deleting Items

Remove individual items or clear all items from storage. Use caution when clearing all items as this action cannot be undone.

Deletion Options:

  • Delete Individual: Click the trash icon next to an item
  • Clear All: Click "Clear All" to remove all items
  • Toast Notifications: Confirmations appear for all actions

Individual Delete

Removes a single item from storage. The item is immediately removed and the table refreshes.

×Clear All

Removes all items from the current storage type. This action is irreversible.

Warning: Clearing all items will permanently delete all data. Make sure you have exported any important data before proceeding.

Common Use Cases

Debugging

Inspect and modify stored data during development. Debug storage issues by viewing exact values and sizes.

Testing

Test how your application handles different storage states. Clear storage to simulate fresh installs.

Data Recovery

Recover accidentally modified data by viewing previous values and restoring them manually.

Cookie Management

Manage authentication cookies, test cookie-based features, and debug session issues.

Performance Analysis

Monitor storage usage and identify large items that may impact application performance.

Demo & Presentations

Show stored data during demos, create specific storage states for presentations.
