Answer from AI
The Application tab in the browser's developer tools is designed for working with data that the web application stores on the client side. It allows you to view and manage:
- Cookies — session files and site settings.
- Local Storage and Session Storage — key-value pairs for storing data between sessions or within a single session.
- IndexedDB — a more complex database in the browser.
- Cached resources and Service Workers — for managing offline mode and performance.
- Manifest and other application settings.
This is useful for debugging, checking saved data, managing sessions, and analyzing web application behavior.
