This happens every time I open a thread. This started today. This hasn't happened before now. What's going on?

Anytime a website wants to store more than 5MB of data safari asks for your permission first. This page talks about a bug in webkit where it miscalculates how much storage is being requested:

Some people say that deleting all the storage for the site in question in safari settings -> privacy -> manage website data will fix it. Be prepared to log in again after deleting the data.

This is interesting. Thanks for the heads-up on this.
