#12Use BroadcastChannel; you don't need no sockets https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Broadcast_C...
Nice, my first thought was to use LocalStorage. Didn't know about BroadcastChannel.
Sounds like OP wanted to use sockets for fun though.
>The original work by Bjorn Staal used localStorage, but I found sockets more fun, because if tweaked a bit, this can be shared with friends.
Who among us hasn't overcomplicated things for fun? :)

#16W-why is window LOCATION exposed to websites? Apparently even in FF private browsing...
At first I thought this is an electron only thing. I get it that we gave up on fingerprinting resistance but this is like pissing on it's grave.
EDIT: privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true fixes the coords to 0

#17Am I the only one that's horrified that window.screenX and window.screenY exist? This is not information that I want to provide.
Using the demo in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MouseEvent/... it seems Firefox pretends the window is always at (0,0). So that's nice.

#18The original seems to be on LinkedIn. Does anyone else find it weird when geek content is posted to LinkedIn? It's the last place I'd think to look. Am I missing out or is this an outlier?

I just checked, it is possible to override them, which causes them to stop updating when you change the your window's location on the screen.
