Normally, scripts on different pages are allowed to access each other if and only if the pages they originate from share the same protocol, port number, and host (also known as the "same-origin policy"). window.postMessage() provides a controlled mechanism to securely circumvent this restriction (if used properly).
Broadly, one window may obtain a reference to another (e.g., via targetWindow = window.opener), and then dispatch a MessageEvent on it with targetWindow.postMessage(). The receiving window is then free to handle this event as needed. The arguments passed to window.postMessage() (i.e., the “message”) are exposed to the receiving window through the event object.
Specifies what the origin of targetWindow must be for the event to be dispatched, either as the literal string "*" (indicating no preference) or as a URI. If at the time the event is scheduled to be dispatched the scheme, hostname, or port of targetWindow's document does not match that provided in targetOrigin, the event will not be dispatched; only if all three match will the event be dispatched. This mechanism provides control over where messages are sent; for example, if postMessage() was used to transmit a password, it would be absolutely critical that this argument be a URI whose origin is the same as the intended receiver of the message containing the password, to prevent interception of the password by a malicious third party. Always provide a specific targetOrigin, not *, if you know where the other window's document should be located. Failing to provide a specific target discloses the data you send to any interested malicious site.
A sequence of objects that are transferred with the message. The ownership of these objects is given to the destination side and they are no longer usable on the sending side.

Enqueues a microtask—a short function to be executed after execution of the JavaScript code completes and control isn't being returned to a JavaScript caller, but before handling callbacks and other tasks.
Enqueues a microtask—a short function to be executed after execution of the JavaScript code completes and control isn't being returned to a JavaScript caller, but before handling callbacks and other tasks.
This lets your code run without interfering with other, possibly higher priority, code, but before the browser runtime regains control, potentially depending upon the work you need to complete.

The read-only scrollX property of the Window interface returns the number of pixels that the document is currently scrolled horizontally. This value is subpixel precise in modern browsers, meaning that it isn't necessarily a whole number. You can get the number of pixels the document is scrolled vertically from the scrollY property.
The read-only scrollY property of the Window interface returns the number of pixels that the document is currently scrolled vertically.
The read-only scrollY property of the Window interface returns the number of pixels that the document is currently scrolled vertically.

This is a global object (sessionStorage) that maintains a storage area that's available for the duration of the page session. A page session lasts for as long as the browser is open and survives over page reloads and restores. Opening a page in a new tab or window will cause a new session to be initiated.

Returns a reference to the topmost window in the window hierarchy.

The window property of a window object points to the window object itself.
The window object represents the window itself. The document property of a window points to the DOM document loaded in that window. A window for a given document can be obtained using the document.defaultView property.
In a tabbed browser, such as Firefox, each tab contains its own window object (and if you're writing an extension, the browser window itself is a separate window too - see Working with windows in chrome code for more information). That is, the window object is not shared between tabs in the same window. Some methods, namely window.resizeTo and window.resizeBy apply to the whole window and not to the specific tab the window object belongs to. Generally, anything that can't reasonably pertain to a tab pertains to the window instead.
