Though on the one hand You _probably_ are not really wrong (though not
necessarily really right as there may be specific reasons for this
scarcity of storage neither You nor me are or even can be aware of!) I
on the other hand too would be very suspicious and annoyed if my browser
started to store more than only some MEGA-bytes but really GIGA-bytes of
really unwanted or at least unsolicited data other than cache on my disk.
