What about swap space used on the disk by the OS, transparent to the application? Is that also a concern for “file system imprint”? What’s the threat model here? The application would have to use RAM that’s never swapped for storing this sort of information. That would make it quite heavy.
- geekroutine 7y agoI think chrome devs want to limit the "file system imprint" as much as possible to enforce "no-history in incognito". There's been some discussions on finding a way around crash reporting in incognito session which stores the dump in the disk, and to my knowledge this is the only violation of this policy.
