However, please keep in mind that this is a pre-release version not intended for production use as it may lead to data loss.

... "Production"? "Data loss"? It's a browser.

Are you joking? A lot of people do most of their work in browsers these days. Having cookies suddenly misbehave can lead to severe data loss.

Fair enough!

People use web browsers to do their job. Which requires data storage.

Cookies are used for storing data, fwiw.

I would imagine anything more than session info would be stored to LocalStorage, then promptly sent to the server.

The 132 update caused a bunch of people's toolbars to go haywire, so it seems like a worthwhile warning to put out.
