Summary

A user reported via e-mail that his configuration JSON is to long to be stored in the browser he is using.

How to reproduce

Add a long list of exceptions for many domains to JShelter.

Setup

As all browsers have a limited storage, sooner or later, you hit the limit.

Reproducibility

With sufficient patience, one can add too many exceptions.

Workarounds

Remove exceptions that you expect that you will not need in (a close) future.

Proposed fix

As the storage is limited, we cannot fix this issue once and for all. However, we can change the format that is used to store the configuration as the current one is not as space-efficient as it can be.

For example, we can compress the configuration, or we can find a more efficient encoding of information, e.g. replace "level_id": "0" by "l":"0".
