[Vimprobable-users] Web Storage Patch

[Jan N. <ma...@ja...>]

Hi,

I recently became interested in DOM or Web Storage and how vimprobable and webkitgtk handles it. It turned out to be on by default. Looking into ~/.local/share/webkit/databases I found it to be full of supercookies. Being a privacy-aware user, I tried to find a workaround for this.

Attached is a small patch that switches Web Storage off by default. However, it can be turned on with ":set localstorage true" per session or permanently in config.h.

I can't tell if that's a sensible or even working solution, as I've only got a basic understanding on these issues. So I'd like to hear your comments.
