I was asked by an extension reviewer to consider using chrome.storage.local instead of localStorage.
This will require adding the “storage” permission to the application manifest.
If i do that, what will happen to existing users of my app?
In chrome, the extension is disabled automatically until the user approves the request for the new permission. this is obviously a risk since some users may not do so.
I’m not sure how this is handled in Firefox or what is the best approach to understanding the impact.
