[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6465974, member: 8835"] I wouldn't sweat this concern just yet. Umbran raised the technical concern that cache clearing MIGHT whack the HTML5 LocalStorage which would destroy the basic idea. However, MM's testing implies that's not the case. It's basically something to verify before going forward, but it's probably not an issue. And some common sense applies. it would be very retarded for HTML5 to define a space for client-side apps to store real data if the browser could trivially trash it during what is a pretty common task. Single page javascript based applications using HTML5 and AJAX are a thing nowadays (the PalmOS that HP killed was based on the concept). So it is critical that LocalStorage be protected from general cache clearing as these kind of apps rely on it to store the user's data (which would end up in the user's profile in Windows, and thus be backed up if the user is applying a proper backup strategy.
