Is it possible to request for more localStorage (of the Web Storage API) on chrome?
Can the requestQuota method be used with localStorage?
PS: Chrome allows me to store upto 5MB before saying 'quota exceeded'.

Thanks but that answer talks about the Web SQL API. I would like to know about the Web Storage API – raul Jul 02 '14 at 10:12

2Related discussion about `localStorage` limits: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=58985 "We don't want people to store large amounts of information in LocalStorage. The API can block a page (and any other pages in your same renderer process) while it loads LocalStorage into memory because it's a synchronous API. Honestly, we'd just plain not support it if we could, but too many developers/sites rely on it. So this is the compromise." – apsillers Jul 02 '14 at 11:51
