Persistent storage API not working on Safari, Chrome

[sehugg]

Recent versions of Safari and Chrome (87) have messed with the persistent storage API, so you get a warning message when creating a new project or requesting storage permissions.

+1 - having the same issue, I'm unable to create new projects due to not being to create/save new projects

Firefox does appears to work, so for anyone having this issue, try switching to Firefox in the mean time.

i found a stack overflow question that suggested chrome will automatically grant persistent storage to bookmarked sites (and that chrome will also refuse to surface requests to the user for that permission): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51657388/request-persistent-storage-permissions

bookmarking the 8bitworkshop.com homepage and checking the permission again seems to be a workaround if people wanna use 8bitworkshop in chrome
