Mario I would like to know more about what you think here. I know we sometimes take a different perspective on these issues, but I genuinly would like to know your view which I respect.
To me distributed apps and interactive browsers is the way of the future. I understand the need for security I have even worked in IT security as a professional but until recently I thought the browser wowsers were just overshooting, then I thought it was an example of the security tail wagging the dog. But now, it seems to be the big internet players don't want us to ever detach from their attention seeking teat. If they can keep us connected they can continue to count us as a product to sell. I believe it would be trivial to allow an appropriate user side permissions process that ruled in or out permanent local storage and also monitored and reported on local storage activities of apps and sites mediated by the browser. If it were not already used I would call this an application firewall. Yet I now realise the big players do not want us to be free and independent of them because if we are they may loose us, so I am not supprised they use security as an excuse to reduce our choice in how we use local storage. I am sure they wish we all had thin clients designed by them. Safari is the browser driven by the most proprietary and closed market player, Apple. I believe that's why we see this kind of thing in their products first, it is too generous to believe they are doing it for our good. Lets hope Firefox can keep it open.
