In Chrome, you can go to Settings->Advanced Settings->Content Settings->Cookies->All Cookies and Site Data, and it will list sites using your localStorage.

#14So apparently this is where you file IE bugs http://connect.microsoft.com/IE - i'm not sure if it's expected or ironic that it's broken. Great find btw!

OK, why does YouTube get a free pass on this? Nobody has ever given me a good reason.

It's known as the "troll" or "trololo" song. Can't be bothered to remember it's real name.

By visiting a YouTube video, I am giving YouTube my consent to play me a video, including any sound it might contain. I completely expect YouTube videos to play sound and am prepared for it, unlike websites such as this.
