Blazor: ProtectedBrowserStorage feature moved to shared framework

As part of the ASP.NET Core 5.0 RC2 release, the ProtectedBrowserStorage feature moved to the ASP.NET Core shared framework.

Version introduced

5.0 RC2

Old behavior

In ASP.NET Core 5.0 Preview 8, the feature is available as a part of the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web.Extensions package but was only usable in Blazor WebAssembly.

In ASP.NET Core 5.0 RC1, the feature is available as part of the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ProtectedBrowserStorage package, which references the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App shared framework.

New behavior

In ASP.NET Core 5.0 RC2, a NuGet package reference is no longer needed to reference and use the feature.

Reason for change

The move to the shared framework is a better fit for the user experience customers expect.

2. Replace using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ProtectedBrowserStorage; with using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Server.ProtectedBrowserStorage;.
