Disabling or removing web storage/DOM storage--how likely it will cause problems?

[conceptualclarity]

I'm reading that web storage/DOM storage is a lot like cookies, but consumes much more space.

Extensions such as Click&Clean and Better Privacy can be used to clear web storage/DOM storage.

The three major browser families' members can be configured to disable web storage/DOM storage.

Does web storage/DOM storage have any truly serious security ramifications?

When I interact with LastPass Support, they always say be sure I'm not disabling cookies, and I know disabling cookies can mess with log-ins.

So, is there a downside to removing or disabling web storage/DOM storage, and if so how much?

Nobody has anything to share on disabling or removing web storage/DOM storage?

conceptualclarity...If I understand correctly, DOM storage is storage of settings over the internet. If that is what it means, it is in wide use, but the cost is access to your PC. I use Google Chrome, and I allow Google to restore browser sessions and other settings if I must reinstall or if Chrome crashes. I think it's just up to you whether you feel confident that the person holding the information is trustworthy.

Yup. I would also like to know if disabling them would have any serious security ramifications?

In addition, I would also like to know what would happen if I disable the followings as well

a) DOM performance
b) DOM resource timing
c) DOM user timing
d) memory cache
e) disk cache
f) link prefetching
g) DNS prefectching

Anyone can help? Thanks

i think this comes down to trial and error.
Just disable DOM and see if any undesirable effects occur.

I use pale moon browser and the pale moon commander extension does have controls over DOM storage etc but of course the same can be achieved in about:config.
