This page has some great information on HTML5 storage: diveintohtml5.org/storage.html The site itself is a wealth of HTML5 information, too. –  GreenWebDev Jan 13 '11 at 23:53
Depends on the user's setting in their browser. –  drudge Jan 13 '11 at 23:59

It's around 5 MB per website, but it depends a lot on the browser and the settings of the user.

In Safari, for example, if a website wants to use more than 5 MB, the browser will just ask the user if he wants to let the website use more space.
