estimatedSize is useless. neither chromium nor safari really uses it (we save it "in case we might wanna do something with it in the future", but that's about it).
in chromium, we currently have a hard limit of 5MB per origin. it's pretty easy to write code that would allow users/extensions to increase it, but the big issue is that we don't know yet how we want to manage quotas (per origin DB quota? per origin quota for DBs + local storage + app cache? per-something else quotas? and what's the best way to change/increase it and not allow malicious apps to fill up the hard drive at the same time?). i think we're really close to tackling these issues and should have a quota management system in place soon. dumi On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 12:01 PM, Antony Sargent <asarg...@google.com>wrote: > [+chromium-dev and dumi] > > I'm not sure what our overall plan is with respect to quotas for html5 > databases, and whether we've discussed giving extensions larger quotas than > regular web content.
