Same Vue.js component in two browser tabs make <select> mirror its selected values

I have a Vue app, using vue-router and a few components rendered in x-templates. In one of those markup templates I have a < select > object. When I open this page in two separate tabs in the same browser session, changed selections in one tab in that is mirrored in the other tab. I first thought it was the data and methods, but then I added a completely vanilla < select > with a few < option > in it, no bindings, data, event handlers or anything - and it behaves the same! When I select an option in one tab, it selects the same in the other. It is the same for other < select > objects in the same app.

I can't explain it. What am I missing? Do I need to maintain sessions to avoid this? If so, how?

Edit: It is now apparent to me that all objects behave the same, and are mirrored between the sessions. This has to be by-design, but how do I do to separate it with a good pattern in Vue.js?

App.js

Vue.use(VueRouter)

const router = new VueRouter({
  mode: 'history',
  base: "/",
  routes: [
    {
      path: '/',
      name: "start",
      component: Start,
    },
    {
      path: '/character/view/:guid',
      name: "character.view",
      component: ViewCharacter,
    }
  ]
})

new Vue({
  router,
  el: '#app',
  data: function() {
    return {
      baseUri: "/"
    }
  },
  computed: {
  }
})

HTML

<html>
....
<script type="text/x-template" id="template-character-sheet">
<div>
  <select>
    <option>1</option>
    <option>2</option>
  </select>
</script>
...
<script src="/components/ViewCharacter.js"></script>
<script src="/components/App.js"></script>
...
</html>

ViewCharacter.js (pieces)

const ViewCharacter = {
    template: "#template-character-sheet",
    components: {
      "navigation": Navigation
    },
    data: function() {
      return {
        properties: values,
        .......
      }
    },
    computed: {
      current_stability: function() {
        return this.rules.stability_levels.filter(o => o.level == this.character.stability)[0];
      },
      .......
    },
.......
}

Brain meltdown. This was me forgetting browser-sync was running in the toolchain to serve the content. Switched to serve, and the problem obviously disappeared.

You can disable this behavior by setting Browsersync's ghostmode option in webpack.mix.js (or wherever you've initialized the script).

From the docs:

// Here you can disable/enable each feature individually
ghostMode: {
    clicks: true,
    forms: true,
    scroll: false
}

// Or switch them all off in one go
ghostMode: false
