Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Try to allocate more than 5 MB of data to Chrome's localStorage What is the expected behavior? Data is saved and can be loaded again What went wrong? Storage limit error. I understand this is an expected behavior, coming from a place where the user's security comes first. I am a data analyst and web developer that uses web browsers to display interactive graphs using thousands of data points. Loading the data everytime from remote servers isn't an option. Exporting all the different data points for each case study isn't an option. Being able to use Local storage is a very handy feature heavily hindered by the lack of memory space. 5 Mb, in 2018, that's extremely low. Please consider Upgrading it. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100 Channel: n/a OS Version: OS X 10.13.5 Flash Version:

As per comment #0 and #1, it seems to be a feature request. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further inputs from dev team. Thanks...!!

The LocalStorage API being sync is just not suitable for large amounts of data. If you need to store more data, use something like IndexedDB, or the Cache storage API, or something else like that. (also the limit in chrome is currently 10MB, not 5MB. Each character in a string is 16 bits in javascript) |
