TPE DOM/Storage
Introduction
Over the years the web has grown various APIs that can be used for storage, e.g. IndexedDB, localStorage, cache API, but it's lack of a means for managing storage across different APIs easily. This project aims at providing a unified architecture for storage on the web so that these APIs could honor the same rule. In addition, this project is to enable applications to more effectively manage their storage.

In the Storage management V1.5, we have started to create telemetry related issues in order to understand even better our users' behavior. We will be definitely benefited and able to come out a more user friendly V2 plan.
Some possible ideas about Storage management v2 (this is changing all the time ;) )
- Smart filtering algorithm to decrease pop-up interference
- Integrating storage types into QuotaManager
Risk & Mitigation plan
- NA
