Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.

Cookies disabled by default can't be that uncommon? :thinking:

Haha thank you. I think it probably is very uncommon.

At least, you're the first person to create an issue for it on GitHub though. And thanks for looking into the probable cause of this issue.

I guess I should check before assuming localStorage is available. (I make that assumption on a lot of projects!)

As someone who routinely browses with cookies disabled, I can assure you that you are far from being the only one to make that same assumption (sadly). 😅
