2No, localStorage is not deleted when the browser closes. It only clears when you do it either programmatically or manually (such as in a browser's Dev Tools). However, someone in another SO thread claims it got cleared on him when he updated Chrome.ultrageek– ultrageek2020-05-10 19:30:59 +00:00Commented May 10, 2020 at 19:30

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
