The 7-Day Cap on All Script-Writeable Storage is troublesome: if I don't log into a computer for a week 'cause I'm on vacation then you wipe my saved data? I have local storage based utilities I've written that I sometimes don't touch for weeks, but whenever I go back everything I put in there is STILL THERE.
Seems like a great way to drive less use of local browser storage options and promote greater use of cloud storage solutions. Cynical me says "YAY iCloud".
Ah, that would be an improvement: just re-read the article and I can't find any reference to "active use" vs "calendar". Can you point out where that is?
"seven days of Safari use without user interaction on the site"
It's not immediately obvious the way it's phrased but they couldn't be calendar days if there are days you don't use Safari; it's only counting a day as one where Safari is used and you don't visit the site.
