When a window is opened with noopener, Chrome should not clone the sessionStorage of its opener; it should instead start from an empty sessionStorage namespace.

Motivation

This is a bugfix to match the HTML specification, which added this behavior in 2017: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/2832

Status in Chromium

Blink>Storage


Enabled by default (tracking bug)
