Browser Database Privacy and Local Chat Storage
Privacy is not only about message content. It also depends on where data is stored, what survives a browser reset, and whether you maintain a safe backup when needed.
Local storage stays with the browser
Browser database mode can keep supported data on the current device, but clearing site data or changing browsers may remove it.
Watch storage limits
Large local histories can affect performance. Review storage indicators and remove data you no longer need.
Back up intentionally
Export important supported data before device changes, browser resets, or other actions that may remove local information.
Compare database modes
A persistent account database may improve continuity across sessions, but users should understand where data is stored before switching.
