I am incredibly upset about Safari destroying the utility of localStorage. The cloud is not safer than your local device. The cloud almost always deletes your data after a few years. The data I entrusted to the cloud five years ago has almost all gone on an "incredible journey".
I thought it was only for localStorage via 3rd party JS? And requesting storage permissions is the only way that data was permanent anyway, and can still be requested?

@dietrich the way I read the announcement it looks like the LocalStorage, IndexedDB, media keys, session storage and service worker registrations are being deleted after 7 days for 1st party (other parts of the statement are about 3rd party)https://webkit.org/blog/10218/full-third-party-cookie-blocking-and-more/ … -
Hm, yeah first party... if no user interaction. An upside is that this brings attention to the fakey storage status quo. Right now all kinds of user data is blown away because websites are too scared to ask for the permission. Now we can normalize asking for storage permission.
