+Subject: dom_storage_limits.patch
+
+This patch circumvents the restriction on DOM storage objects,
+namely `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`, which chromium otherwise
+limits to approximately 10MiB.
+
+That restriction originates from a recommendation
+[in the Web Storage API specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webstorage.html#disk-space-2)
+that is motivated by the concern that hostile code could abuse this
+feature to exhaust available storage capacity.
+However, in the case of  Electron, where the application developers
+have control over all of the code being executed,
+this safety precaution becomes a hindrance that does not add much value.
+For example, if a malicious developer wanted to consume disk space
+on a victim's machine they could do so via Node's native file system API.
+
+By disabling this restriction or increasing the quota,
+electron application developers can use `localStorage`
+as their application's "back end", without being having
+to limit the amount of data stored to 10MiB.
+
+There may still be some benefit to keeping this restriction for applications that load remote content.
+Although all remote data should be from a trusted source and transferred using
+a secure channel, it is nevertheless advisable to include additional layers of protection
+to mitigate risks associated with potential compromise of those other technologies.
+With that in mind, an acceptable alternative to disabling the limit at compile-time
+(as this patch currently does) would be to instead allow it to be disabled at run-time
+for a given `BrowserWindow` via a `webPreferences` option,
+similar to [`nodeIntegration`](https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/security#2-disable-nodejs-integration-for-remote-content).
