Microsoft has announced the “first-look” rollout of the Storage Access API that is now available in the Canary and Dev channels of Microsoft Edge. This API allows developers to determine whether their access to browser-based storage is restricted by a user’s privacy settings and to request storage access from users if so.  For users, this API provides greater transparency into and control over the sites that are requesting access to browser-based storage that could be used to track their behaviors across the web.
