Unlimited Storage Article #7949
Open
Description
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=897276
Tracking bug for: how do we give web apps the equivalent of the 'unlimitedStorage' permission granted via extensions?
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions
- Can be granted by extension to an origin (e.g. https://example.com)
- Once granted, origin content is NOT evicted under storage pressure (same as https://storage.spec.whatwg.org/#persistence)
- Once granted, origin content has unlimited quota
- Once granted, origin is not subject to "session-only" restrictions
Unlimited quota is the big addition; we may not want to actually introduce such an explicit permission (instead, having better automatic and user-controlled quota management and lifting quota limits for all origins), and we may not want to couple these various properties or support them at all.
