Exploiting IndexedDB API information leaks in Safari 15

Safari 14 had this nasty IndexedDB bug last year: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226547 and I had to add https://github.com/jakearchibald/safari-14-idb-fix to all my sites using IndexedDB. Now this. Why the hell are they messing with IndexedDB?

Last IDB shitstorm was discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27509206.

IndexedDB on Safari has had issues it feels like since day one. IIRC there was a full rewrite somewhere along the way too, and still problems seemingly every Safari release. My favorites were the iOS upgrades that simply deleted all IDB data.

Super frustrating, makes me glad I’m not currently building anything that relies on significant local storage.

The web could fill so many needs instead of using apps, but with crap like this it’s no surprise that it still doesn’t.

I'm currently fighting a safari IDB bug where blobs stop being returned or all reference the same data.

Apple just doesn't care about IDB or the web.
