=== Type of Data === | |||
Flags: | |||
* things the user enters, except for credentials (form data) | |||
* credentials | |||
* things cached by the UA (pages, preview images, icons) | |||
* local data stored by the server / web application (cookies, HTML5 local storage, Flash/Silverlight local storage) | |||
* history information (bookmarks, visited URIs) | |||
* settings specific to a site (for instance, preferences with respect to privacy, script disabling...) | |||
=== Time range === | |||
Several UAs offer to restrict the clear operation to a time range such as "today" or "last week". | |||
In the API, this can be exposed as "last N minutes", or something like that. | |||
We need to allow plugins to signal that they can't clear by time range, though. | |||
(Return code, plus discoverability beforehand?) | |||
=== Site/URI === | |||
Firefox supports "forget about this site". Other UAs do not appear to support this. | |||
Should it be part of the API? If so, what format? | |||
