IE8 Session sharing across tabs and windows

Question

Has anyone implemented any effective solutions to address the numerous issues that are caused by IE8's session sharing functionality? We've gotten very close by writing a custom http module that compares session and view state values, but our efforts are thwarted by things such as accelerator keys and unaccceptable copying of session objects.

This is a VB.Net web app.

Answer 1

It is a feature of Internet Explorer. Cookies/Session is shared across browser windows. IE8 has new feature to create "New Session" or you can use cookieless sessions to prevent this from happening.
