I Get A QuotaExceededError (Quota Exceeded Error) When I Use My Web Browser.

The QuotaExceededError appears to be with (1) Safari in private mode (2) Microsoft Edge (3) Internet Explorer if there is not enough “site data”
 
The following will resolve this issue:
  1. In Safari, turn off private mode, or:
  2. Switch to a different web browser.

Discussion:

AmbientWeather requires 25MB  of what browsers call “site data”. The calculation for how much a single website is allowed to use is complicated but depends on the available space on the device and the usage by other websites including advertisements among other factors.

Follow these steps one by one to attempt to resolve the problem.

  1. Clear your browser’s cache and site data (includes cookies).

  2. Remove any large files you recently downloaded. Remember to empty your recycle bin to reclaim the space. Ensure you have at least a few gigabytes of space available on your primary storage device.
  3. If you still can’t sign in, restart the computer to be completely sure the space has been reclaimed.
  4. Occasionally, an extension can interfere with our use of storage space on your device. Most extensions are disabled when private browsing, so try your browser’s “Private” or “Incognito” mode.

    For Internet Explorer 11: Use the “InPrivate Tab” option in your menu.

  5. Finally, try switching to another browser temporarily to see if this resolves the issue.
