"

  • Fills up the user’s hard disk on Chrome, Safari (iOS and desktop), Opera, and IE.
  • Fills up 1 GB every 16 seconds on my Macbook Pro Retina (with solid state drive)
  • Tested with Chrome 25, Safari 6, Opera (12), IE 10.
  • For 32-bit browsers, like Chrome, the entire browser may crash before the disk is filled.
  • Does not work on Firefox, since Firefox’s implementation of localStorage is smarter.
  • Includes a button to reclaim your disk space ;)"

this thing is bad...

The implementation on all browsers except ff is plain stupid and not acording to the standards. It feels right that they get punished for not implementing the standard ;)
