Why Not Include Local Storage in Site Settings


Popular web browsers have "Site Settings" that allow the user to enable or disable certain web browser "features" on a site-by-site basis. For example disable Javascript for google.com or disable cookies for doubelclick.net. But so-called "Local Storage" is missing. Anyone know why.

Disabling cookies also disables session/localStorage

I would imagine the JS setting covers LS. Point being if JS is enabled but LS is not and the JS uses LS...things might get ugly.
