It's unclear what kind of storage is available in private browsing mode across browsers. Ideally, we can remove all cookie-based storage in all cases.
For non-private browsing modes:
First party mode: All modern browsers have IndexedDB and we should use that with a new, simple database layout vs. the legacy layout that's been used to support a variety of storage backends.
Third party mode: Chrome is the only browser still using third party mode and it supported IndexedDB, so it should be used.
For private browsing modes:
First party mode: Always use this mode, regardless of browser. Determine if all modern browsers support IndexedDB (whether it be backed by memory store or whatever, so long as it works as long as the same private session / window is in use).
