It seems that IE11 works well even when open the link with a new tab.

sessionStorage is scoped per-tab.

There are a bunch of ways we could have resolved that problem, all with subtle bad behavior in some cases. We opted to have the prerender and the original tab share session storage, and not allow use of a prerender in other tabs. You can still get somewhat funky session storage behaviors if you really try.

I'm not sure what option IE opted for, but you can undoubtedly get different subtly broken behaviors with their implementation of prerender + session storage if you try. The two features just aren't compatible.

Our website has a lot of cases have to open a new tab page, maybe could add a option (maybe named crosstab, the default value is false) to support cross tab prerender when the website developer know exactly they don't use sessionStorage?
