Is chrome.storage.local.get function very slow?

Question

JavaScript

Hello. While writing an extension for the Google Chrome browser, I ran into a problem. I get my previously saved settings using the chrome.storage.local.get async function like this:

let date = new Date();
chrome.storage.local.get(null, result => {
    console.log('Settings stored in: '+new Date() - date+'ms');
});

The function call is made in popup.js every time the user opens the popup window of the extension. When you first start the browser , the time to receive the settings can reach indecent several seconds .

Subsequent calls get results in ~100-200ms.

Answer 1

Use localStorage instead of chrome.storage.local
