Cookies can have several security settings like a time-to-live or the domain attribute to share the cookies between several subdomains.</p> <p><strong><em>LocalStorage</em></strong></p> <p>LocalStorage is only suitable for storing small amounts of data that need to persist across sessions and it is limited by a 5MB storage cap. Storing complex data is only possible by transforming it into a string for example with JSON.stringify(). The API is not asynchronous which means if fully blocks your JavaScript process while doing stuff. Therefore running heavy operations on it might block your UI from rendering.</p>https://linzeyan.github.io/posts/2021/20210718-what-happens-when-you-type-an-url-in-the-browser-and-press-enter/Sun, 18 Jul 2021 23:45:45 +0800https://linzeyan.github.io/posts/2021/20210718-what-happens-when-you-type-an-url-in-the-browser-and-press-enter/<ul> <li><a href="https://www.cythilya.tw/2018/11/26/what-happens-when-you-type-an-url-in-the-browser-and-press-enter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What happens after you type a URL in the browser and press Enter?</a></li> </ul>https://linzeyan.github.io/posts/2018/20181017-mozilla5-0-always-user-agent-string/Wed, 17 Oct 2018 12:03:04 +0800https://linzeyan.github.io/posts/2018/20181017-mozilla5-0-always-user-agent-string/<ul> <li><a href="https://yulun.me/2013/mozilla5-0-always-user-agent-string/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why do browser user-agent strings always include Mozilla/5.0?</a></li> <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12288452/what-does-mozilla-5-0-in-user-agent-string-signify" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What does &ldquo;Mozilla/5.0&rdquo; in user agent string signify?</a></li> <li><a href="http://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">History of the browser user-agent string</a></li> </ul> <p>Quick answer</p> <p>Because website developers may output special features when they detect a browser (Mozilla in this case). When other browsers also support those good features, they try to mimic Mozilla so the site outputs the same content instead of a degraded version.</p>
