is it possible pass data between two different browsers?

Question

I have to pass data between two different browser windows ( Eg: Chrome , Firefox ).

But the two browser windows does not have any parent window.

Assumption: Suppose if I know one browser window name , is it possible to get the data from other browser?

Its is an R&D.

[WebRTC](http://www.webrtc.org/) might be helpful if you want to communicate between two separate browsers without a server. — doldt, Feb 04 '15 at 07:39

Server Option using (node.js)

If you are open to use node.js i suggest you to take a look on Socket.io.

They have a pretty good example of how to communicate on 2 or more browser using the chat example.

Take a look on this demo

Only Client option (using webRTC)

Also if you don't wanna get mess with the server.

Take a quickly look into this post

Update

Seems like the only option we have here its WebRTC

Take a look into this 2 SO.

Thanks for your reply . But I think websocket is used to push the data from the server to client browser . How it is possible to send the data between two browsers ? – Human Being Feb 04 '15 at 07:43
