DOM Storage Here is something Useful that has been activated in IE 8.0 yet almost Nobody is aware of (Webmasters and surfers alike)
It is a New "session?" cookie type cache which runs alongside the Prefetch/Superfetch/Tempfile Folders ect.
and unlike the Older session cookies (which are still there) can do a slight bit more....
Read this from the Development prople at Microsoft (The wording is a Bit mathematical)
Quote:
DOM Storage also offers significantly more disk space than cookies. In Internet Explorer, cookies can store only 4 kilobytes (KB) of data. This byte total can be one name/value pair of 4 KB, or it can be up to 20 name/value pairs that have a total size of 4 KB. By comparison, DOM Storage provides roughly 10 megabytes (MB) for each storage area.

10 MB against 4 KB? that is a Massive jump!
Question is who can see the Benefits of this Feature and what can be deposited here? And Of course the security aspect...Is the likes of CCleaner been Optimised to clear this area?
PS Scroll down the Link above to View Local Storage which is an associated feature (New also?)
