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".
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.

I mean, there are a ton of apps I don't use every week. That doesn't mean I want their damn data deleted!

That's a precarious place for your data *right now*. The way storage quotas work across browsers means your data is already at risk of being blown away. Browsers have given you a false sense of security in your data safety. Normalizing asking for permissions fixes that.
