You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I’m getting this:
on every page since updating my iPhone software to iOS 16.6.1 using Safari.
Make it go away please.
You’ll be told it’s your device/browser/colour of underwear that’s at fault and you should clear your browser cache and actually it’s because you don’t clear your cache regularly that it’s an issue. Nothing to do with the site obviously.
So you need to clear your cache/browsing history which annoyingly will sign you out of everything etc etc.
Welcome to the internet as governed by Apple.
Safari browser on a mac I'm guessing. It's a wide problem and no.. It's not us any there's nothing we can do about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/n2lkt6/what_is_this_do_you_want_to_allow/
Also, see this.
It’s funny, I periodically have this but assume the same response that oceanskipper suggests so don’t mention it (despite being a subscriber).
it’s clearly not “just a bug in apple” because none of the other sites have such a a large amount of local storage in use.
I’m suspicious it’s in relation to the ads that are being run because the site only sometimes chews up large amounts of local storage and can be fine for large portions.
the temporary fix is
Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data
If you swipe singletrackworld.com to the left it’ll let you delete the data. Then you’ll have to re sign back in etc. but it’ll work for a while. Unless it’s a bad day at which point it’ll fill back up within an hour or so.
HTH (temporarily)
Welcome to the internet as governed by Apple.
this is the only site on the internet I have ever experienced this. Blaming it on Apple is just lazy.
2 years old posts on the internet makes it fact don’t you know.
I agree that this is the only site on either my MacBook or phone that does this.
I just click to not allow anyway, it’s doesn’t seem to break anything but is bloody annoying.
this is the only site on the internet I have ever experienced this. Blaming it on Apple is just lazy.
Or,
Safari is the only browser on the Internet anyone has ever experienced this. Blaming it on STW is just lazy.
If you google the message you'll get hit after hit of people complaining about it from Youtube to Facebook to Google to you name it going back to at least 2011. The one common denominator in all of them is Safari.
Is this in anyway related to the "using too much energy" pop up I get on a Mac, accompanied by the fan sounding as if it is 2/3 the way up the Kipps?
So you need to clear your cache/browsing history which annoyingly will sign you out of everything etc etc.
Not if you only clear it for Singletrack.
It's God's way of telling you that you should have bought an Android based phone from Samsung.
See, again!
Oh give over.
It may well be that there is something funky that STW is doing which Safari doesn't like. I have no idea, that's a question for the developers. But to claim it's only STW is nonsense as (as I said) five seconds' googling will demonstrate.
It’s also a been an issue for around 3 or 4 years so not just since iOS 16.
I’ve had it on other sites, my guess is if you visit here a lot it’ll increase the amount it uses. I wonder those who only have it here visit as other sites as much?
Report of this issue on ESPN https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/do-you-want-to-let-espn-com-use-up-to-1-2-gb-on-your-mac.2353843/
Not trying to dismiss the annoyance but it is a widespread issue
Here’s a recent discussion about the issue on Upwork. Latest response 24th Sept. Includes some tips, that have been suggested here. Also includes posts from a few saying this only ever happens on Upwork.
I know it’s frustrating. I’ve had it happen to me.
Oh give over
Well alright but it is bloody annoying esp when added to all the other annoying things like the formatting adding all that guff around peoples posts sometimes and picture uploads randomly not working and now this again all of a sudden too!
Doesn't happen on my aging iPad, but do have other issues which I questioned a while back.
Was told my device is too old. But again only happens on stw
Okay, but do you use ESPN or Upwork or Updog? Because if you did, you might see it over there, too.

If you go into your Account Preferences and disable the "fancy editor" then the bulk of that will go away including the error message you posted.
I don't know why STW keeps TinyMCE around, it's been known to be bollocks with BBpress for years. It's never worked properly with STW since the day they added it.
Do you Safari users know that other web browsers are available? 😉
Or,
Safari is the only browser on the Internet anyone has ever experienced this. Blaming it on STW is just lazy.
Or,
Safari on my iPad is the only one that warns me. Chrome on Android racks up similar storage it just doesn’t tell me about it. Only this site stores so much data on my devices, Argos once managed half as much but not recently.
Yes. Found I prefer Safari.
Lol, it's just a bloody web browser not a partner for life, FFS! 🤷
Still, if anyone wants to persist with irritating behaviour, it's your choice....
Chrome isn't any better on my pixel 7. Sometimes the text on the forum is in bold. 4 minutes later it's not. No idea why.

Not on iOS there isn't, not really. Apple locks you in to Webkit regardless of what you install.

Assuming the devs aren't fiddling, that looks a zoom setting on the browser tab?

What an utterly ridiculous comment.

or in some cases it’s someone else’s choice! 😉

You could be right Cougar but it happens regularly and I'm definitely not using any zoom settings.
I just accept it's a quirk of stw 🤣

This above is the answer.

So, from a site owner’s point of view it could be that the warnings are seen as the problem.
From the site visitor’s point of view, the question is what is all this storage space on my device really needed for?
Apple are using an inform and seek consent approach to any unusual resource hogging behaviour. The alternative is to block without asking when a certain allocation of LocalStorage is reached (which used to be pretty normal and threw up errors for developers to deal with), or let a site/app use as much space as possible/available on the device (anyone mind if I create a distributed fleeting backup my photo library across all your machines if your visit a site I’m working on…).
Yeah and the videos appearing despite them being turned off.
I’ve been having this a fair bit despite them being turned off. It’s a pain in the arse.
I’m sure it’s the internet’s fault though, nothing to do with the site.
I think it's specifically about manual caching STW is doing using a Workbox service worker, not about automatic browser caching. There's probably no need to have that thing.
The principle is when something is out of your control to fix, change what's in your control to stop triggering it.
I’ve seen more threads moaning about this than I’ve seen the pop ups.
Happened once, I guess 4 months ago. Switched phone off, then back on again. Not happened since.

Except it kept happening to me while using Brave, on an iPad, using the most recent version of iOS. So I went back to Safari, where it stopped. Makes you think, though.
(No, it doesn’t.)
Do you Safari users know that other web browsers are available?
Oddly enough, yes, like Opera, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Ghostery Dawn and Firefox. All of which I have, and use. But none with Google, all with DuckDuckGo as preferred search. Chrome I won’t touch with a barge-pole.
Satisfied?

It probably will, for the reason I said earlier. You don't have a choice of browser engine on iOS.
I reckon bikes and boots has it. “I think it’s specifically about manual caching STW is doing using a Workbox service worker, not about automatic browser caching.” seems the most likely cause.

Same here on a Pixel 6A

If one of my web developers came to me and told me they weren’t fully supporting the web browser with a 25%-35% market share on mobile devices, they’d probably be looking for another job. Or at least some retraining.
If doesn’t matter if it’s the fault of the browser, a web dev’s job is to work around those things so their site is usable by the largest amount of people.
And as others have said, it’s because Safari actually tells you. Other browsers just use the space. A website that’s pretty much static, as STW is, using anything like a gigabyte of storage is completely unacceptable. It should be tens of kilobytes at most.
25% - but your point stands
(Ah - you edited it)
I get it intermittently on my iPhone using Chrome. Don’t get it on any other site I visit.
.
It's probably going hand-in-hand with the 60 scripts that "No-Script" reported to me once. We now have some fancy Firefox extensions (Brave got dropped due to being funded by a fascist and a homophobe) and a couple of Pi-Holes to reduce some of the drag here and elsewhere.
Every bloody page on my iPhone.
Only occurs on this site

60? You mean 455!
