Send info from One browser to another in Laravel 5.2.37

Question

I have a page where user can Add/Update records. Code is written in Laravel 5.2

Let's say I opened the that add/update page in chrome and same url in FireFox. So, if user create a new record in Chrome browser, info should be received immediately to Firefox. So, that I don't need to send ajax based reqeust to server to show complete list.

My question is, where should I start for this? Is there any blog that I can go through step by step ?

You definitely need to use WebSockets to achieve it. There a couple of good links in the tiagoRL's answer. But also, since you said you are using Laravel 5.2 I strongly recommend you to broadcast events. If you are a Laracasts user, take a look to the related videos.

Basically this is the main link:

Also to simplify the server-side stuff, I'd go for Pusher
