### Storage compression
The Firefox version of uBO use LZ4 compression by default to store raw filter lists, compiled list data, and memory snapshots to disk storage.
The Firefox version of uBO use LZ4 compression by default to store raw filter lists, compiled list data, and memory snapshots to disk storage.
LZ4 compression requires the use of [`IndexedDB`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API), which is problematic with Chromium-based browsers in incognito mode -- where instances of `IndexedDB` are always reset, causing uBO to always launch inefficiently and with out of date filter lists (see [#399](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/399)). An `IndexedDB` instance is required because it supports storing [`Blob`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob)-based data, a capability not available to [`browser.storage.local` API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/local).
