Privacy: Add Local storage management

Open vnevremeni opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

Hello. I did not find any extension for chromium, to auto-purge or auto-expire local storage content. The firefox's self-destructing cookies is doing that. Local Storage is privacy hole, and it is used by k1ssmetrics and others. Can you add a local-storage management column? I know it's not hard, but very useful

And thanks for so great extension! It is the best!

It's actually very hard, because there is no way to delete all various local storages for a specific origin with the chrome API. It's rather time-based, and It's all of them or nothing, so a column is pointless. It's currently done specifically for localStorage by injecting a script tag in the web page. However for other type of local storages I can't do this, as they are missing ways to enumerate them.
