Yep, that's exactly it... it'd be awesome if CCleaner supported the exclusion of "HTML5 cookies" aka DOM Storage - especially if it could be done on a per-site basis.. My understanding is that BetterPrivacy (a firefox addon) has this capability.

Thanks for the response... It occurs in both webkit browsers and firefox. I was able to track down the filename in Firefox - it goes in your user profile directory (varies by OS), and it's called webappsstore.sqlite I can't seem to find solid information on Chrome or Safari, but I'm sure it's in a similar file, probably also sqlite I'd guess.

Hello there, I develop a browser extension that requires HTML5 localStorage for a specific domain (reddit.com). Now that I have a lot of users (in the few thousand range), I'm finding that those running things like BetterPrivacy and CCleaner are losing their settings any time they restart their browser and/or computer. It looks like CCleaner recently added a way to clean out HTML5 localStorage -- all fine and good, but I can't seem to find anything in the documentation about being able to whitelist localStorage the way you can whitelist specific cookies. Is there any way to do this? If not, I think it's a pretty important feature to add, as web applications, browser extensions etc have very legitimate uses for this type of storage. Not all cookie and localStorage use is nefarious. Thanks for any assistance you can provide...
