I've been using Typing Genius to practice my typing, and I've noticed that it keeps my stats even after I refresh the page. The thing is, I didn't log in or set up an account. I've looked into localStorage and cookies, but they're both empty. I also checked the Network tab and found nothing. Can anyone explain where my stats are being saved? I'm still new to all this, so I might be overlooking something obvious.

It sounds like Typing Genius is using IndexedDB to store your stats. Unlike localStorage and cookies, which have size limits, IndexedDB can handle a larger amount of data and it's perfect for apps that need to save information without requiring user accounts.
Great question! IndexedDB actually allows for much more storage than localStorage or cookies. The limits can vary based on the browser and available disk space, so it can go well beyond that 5MB mark.
