Summary

Report a predictable storage quota from StorageManager's estimate API for sites 
that do not have unlimited storage permissions. It is possible to detect a 
user's browsing mode via the reported storage quota because the storage space 
made available is significantly smaller in incognito mode than in regular mode. 
This is a mitigation that prevents detection of a user's browsing mode via the 
storage API by reporting an artificial quota, equal to usage + 10 Gib, in all 
browsing modes for sites with limited storage permissions. Sites with unlimited 
storage permissions will be unaffected. Enforced quota will also be unaffected.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
