alt Hacker NewsWhat your'e describing I would expect to be measured in kilobytes, not tens of gigabytes.
There is no reason for any person to think that a website needs to store data sized in the "full Ubuntu install" range to facilitate repeat visits.

Do you think people expect that for apps they've installed? Should those also be limited to a few MB?

You make a reasonable point, while kilobytes might be too little it probably shouldn't be 30gb. 5gb might be ok. In the settings it should be possible for the user to set their own limit. I am not familiar with browser storage but there is hopefully a mechanism to inform the user that their limit might not be enough.
