  • a user's extension settings can persisted when using split incognito behavior.
  • it's asynchronous bulk read , write operations, , therefore faster blocking , serial localstorage api.
  • user data can stored objects (the localstorage api stores data in strings).
  • enterprise policies configured administrator extension can read (using storage.managed schema).
