copied!<p>Quoting from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Storage" rel="noreferrer">Wikipedia article on Web Storage</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Web storage can be viewed simplistically as an improvement on cookies, providing much greater storage capacity (<strong>10 MB per origin in Google Chrome(<a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/S5Q9HqDB8bh" rel="noreferrer">https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/S5Q9HqDB8bh</a>), Mozilla Firefox, and Opera; 10 MB per storage area in Internet Explorer</strong>) and better programmatic interfaces.</p> </blockquote> <p>And also quoting from a <a href="http://ejohn.org/blog/dom-storage/" rel="noreferrer">John Resig article</a> [posted January 2007]:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Storage Space</strong></p> <p>It is implied that, with DOM Storage, you have considerably more storage space than the typical user agent limitations imposed upon Cookies. However, the amount that is provided is not defined in the specification, nor is it meaningfully broadcast by the user agent.</p> <p>If you look at the Mozilla source code we can see that 5120KB is the default storage size for an entire domain. This gives you considerably more space to work with than a typical 2KB cookie.</p> <p><strong>However, the size of this storage area can be customized by the user</strong> (so a 5MB storage area is not guaranteed, nor is it implied) and the user agent (Opera, for example, may only provide 3MB - but only time will tell.)</p> </blockquote>
