Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to have a single session across multiple browsers so I get the same color automatically no matter which machine I'm using, and so a tab I left open on another machine isn't consuming server resources when I open the same pad on whatever machine I'm currently using.
Describe the solution you'd like
Let the user bookmark a link that sets the token and express_sid cookies to the current values. I can then bookmark that link on one machine and use it on another machine to prime matching session state.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I copy the cookie values manually using the debugger. This works and really only has to be done once per machine, but I'd argue there should be a much easier way to do this.
Additional context
N/A
Plugin?
Unsure, because I don't know enough about etherpad internals to know whether a plugin can mess with session cookies.
