It would be nice if localstorage worked in a new instance in incognito. This way webapps that require it can still function without affecting non-incognito tabs

It would be nice if localstorage worked in a new instance in incognito. This way webapps that require it can still function without affecting non-incognito tabs. What other privacy concerns would there be I'm wondering?
- walterbell 7y agoIf incognito mode discards localstorage, there is risk of silent data loss. E.g. imagine a web-based editor that saved drafts. Websites can detect the absence of localstorage and change their behavior, e.g. notify the user that information will be lost after the session ends.
