Storage bucketsLimited availability

The navigator.storageBuckets API allows you to organize locally stored data into groups called storage buckets. Each bucket can have different settings, allowing the browser to manage and delete buckets independently rather than applying the same treatment to all.

Not yet supported in all major browsers — check the table and provide a fallback.
