I think browser is culprit not MacBook
😁. Apart from indexdb, two more experiments I can suggest:

  1. Use service worker java script to cache some informations in browser itself. This should be in html or text file. ( I have never tried this)
  2. Fetch the device Mac address as login of client. Get some permissions from client to show some data and bla bla... So next time whenever he browses your webapp, match Mac address with Mac address stored and show whatever you want...

Wonderful suggestions and thank your not going to the client is insecure route as many might without fully reading my intent. I'm seeing the web is moving this way very quickly, cars, speakers, fridges all on the edge authentication, what a time to be alive!
