If I enable JS logging (see https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/webbrowser-app/handle-js-console-msgs/+merge/214687), I’m seeing the following error:

    [JS] (http://m-a-tb.sndcdn.com/all_b82ea7d.js:313) Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'setItem' of null

The culprit is the following bit of JS:

    window.localStorage.setItem("sc-test-private-browsing","1")

If I enable localStorage (by setting 'preferences.localStorageEnabled' to 'true' on the webview), the page loads correctly. The question is: should we enable localStorage by default in the browser?
