I disagree. The IndexedDB was introduced as a permanent way to store data (which is not deleted after closing a website). As it is the only available standard for permanent storeage, I think it should be deleted only if the user asks to delete it (the same way you delete any other file in your computer).
Of course, browsers are free to do whatever they want. But the user can (and will) switch to the software, which does what he or she wants.
- starbugs 7y agoYou disagree with the status quo implemented in browsers or you disagree with the decisions that were made years ago (by browser vendors), because you basically cannot guarantee for that (disk full, privacy settings, private browsing, etc.)?
- nicoburns 7y agoIt's different if there is a technical limitation (disk full - computer tend to barely function in this state anyway), or the user has opted in to ephemeral storage. But to not give users the choice to store things permanently is quite a severe restriction.
