window.opener return Cross Origin error in Chrome

I already developed application to open popup using below code,

var url = 'child.html';
var args = ['value'];
var options='height:150px;width:300px'
window.openModalDialog(url,args,options);

Am able to read argument from openModalDialog using below code

var args = window.dialogArguments;
var arg = args[0];

Now am migrating application to Chrome. As per document window.openModalDialog not supported in Chrome. So, I plan to replace it with window.open. Now am facing issue when I try to get argument. Because, am unable to get argument using window.dialogArguments. I tried with

window.opener and parent.window.opener

to get argument. It return Cross Origin error. how can I get arguments from window.open.?

With window.open you should save the opener into a variable, and then you can access the arguments.

var url = 'child.html';
var args = ['value'];
var options='height:150px;width:300px'
let newWindow = window.open(url,args,options);

And the arguments will be inside newWindow.location object.

NOTE: This WILL NOT work if your window opens in a different domain, since that tries to break a security policy called CORS.
