The Joys of HTML5
Introducing the new HTML5 Hard Disk Filler™ API
Oh hai there… Filling your hard disk with lots of cats…
Used 0.0 MB of disk space!
(gives your disk space back)
Click Fill ’er up! to begin. (It only touches this page’s storage, and it’s fully reversible.)
Works in Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera & Firefox — but modern browsers now
cap each site to a few MB, so the original trick (one localStorage
per subdomain: 1.filldisk.com, 2.filldisk.com…) is
patched. This is a faithful, self-contained recreation on a single origin.
Read about how this works. Original hack by Feross Aboukhadijeh.
Source code is available. Happy hacking!
