Reply to browser.storage.onChanged doesn't appear to work on Safari
Looks like it works well on Content Scripts, however, it doesn't work in extension pages embedded in iframes. I have an html page (that lives inside the extension) that I inject in the target page inside an iframe. The browser.storage.local.onChanged.addListener is never triggered in that page. Note: This works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera It looks something like this: <!-- Target page --> <body> <iframe src="safari-web-extension://<ID>/my-page.html"> <html> <script type="text/javascript"> chrome.storage.local.onChanged.addListener((details) => { // Is never triggered console.log(details) }) </script> </html> </iframe> </body> Had to fallback to polling only for Safari. It'd be good to know if this is a permissions issue or an actual bug in Safari.
