Web Storage, the new LSO. Also DRM thread.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_storage

Called by most DOM Storage, not to be misleading or anything.

DOM Storage is useful because no good browser-only methods exist for persisting reasonable amounts of data for any period of time. Browser cookies have limited capacity and provide no support for organizing persisted data, and other methods (such as Flash Local Storage) require an external plugin.

So like, who knew about this, and let it slide?
And why is the W3C still sucking corporate dicks?
Don't we have a mechanism against this, no defence?

Who the fuck didn't know about this? This is years old. What's the fucking problem anyway? They are trivial to delete and edit, since it's just a JSON object. I'd say they are better than cookies because they don't get sent to the server with every single request. If shit is going to be stored, it is better that the user have control over it.

Also, take your webdev shit back to /g/.
