Collaborative Browsing Using Html5 And Websockets

I want to share whatever I am browsing to appear on another tab. How is it possible to achieve this using HTML5 and Websockets ?

Solution 1:

Websockets is a bit overkill for this. Just use sessionStorage with an event listener:

When the url changes, sink the url into some session storage key and then have the tabs listen for changes using something like:

functiononStorageEvent(storageEvent){
   alert("storage event");
}
window.addEventListener('storage', onStorageEvent, false);
