I know from my testing that localStorage is shared between (at least) the options page and the background page. I know from documentation that the data from those pages is not shared with content scripts. And I know that it's not showing up in my popup pages, either.

I suppose this means that popup pages don't have easy access to localStorage settings. I find this to be quite problematic, and to be honest, it bothers me.
