Konark Modi reported a while ago a disk leak at least on macOS due to the
Notification API. Here is the bug report:
{{{
The leak is cause by: https://www.w3.org/TR/notifications/ API.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html
2. Temporarily allow JS.
3. Click on Authorize button.
4. Click on Show button.
5. Notification should occur.
macOS by default saves these notification
in`/private/var/folders/qs/54swlb5d1fx4hq969vdqg4rr0000gn/0/com.apple.notificationcenter/db`
. It dumps the content of the notification and the website name.
This location can be found using:
Activity Monitor -> Search for process user noted -> Open files and ports
-> Notifications DB.
Now, although the user opted in to these notifications, but this is an
intended leak from OS level.
