#29634: Riot.im local storage lost when closing tab -----------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: 0tzVNmkQxgql | Owner: tbb-team Type: defect | Status: | needs_information Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: riot, matrix, local storage | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------
Comment (by 0tzVNmkQxgql): This is what I did: Options -> Privacy and Security -> History: Uncheck "Always use private browsing mode" (so this is the problem?), restart Options -> Privacy and Security -> History: Check "Clear history when Tor Browser closes", then uncheck "Cookies" and "Active Logins" under Settings ("Offline Website Data" and "Site Preferences" are already unchecked) Options -> Cookies and Site Data: Check "Keep until I close Tor Browser", click on "Exceptions" and add "riot.im" with status "Allow". This retains cookies and IndexedDB even over restarts. I also set "Store Data in Persistent Storage" to "Allow" in the Permissions tab that you can reach when clicking the green lock. This actually worked for a while last year and stopped working in January. I tried to downgrade TB and Riot to find the last versions on which it worked, but I was unsuccessful. I am currently running a Whonix VM just for Riot, which is rather inconvenient and has its problems. I could set up the Electron desktop client to use Tor as a Proxy and to not self-update, but I don't trust Electron apps not to make connections anyway and firewalling it off is cumbersome, because the executable path changes with every update. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29634#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
