你可以在现代浏览器中使用下面的代码来实时有效地检查存储配额(总量和使用):

if ('storage' in navigator && 'estimate' in navigator.storage) {
        navigator.storage.estimate()
            .then(estimate => {
                console.log("Usage (in Bytes): ", estimate.usage,
                            ",  Total Quota (in Bytes): ", estimate.quota);
            });
}

我真的很喜欢cdmckay的答案，但它并不真的看起来很好，实时检查大小:它太慢了(对我来说2秒)。这是改进的版本，它更快，更准确，也有一个选项来选择误差的大小(默认为250000，误差越小-计算时间越长):

function getLocalStorageMaxSize(error) {
  if (localStorage) {
    var max = 10 * 1024 * 1024,
        i = 64,
        string1024 = '',
        string = '',
        // generate a random key
        testKey = 'size-test-' + Math.random().toString(),
        minimalFound = 0,
        error = error || 25e4;

    // fill a string with 1024 symbols / bytes    
    while (i--) string1024 += 1e16;

    i = max / 1024;

    // fill a string with 'max' amount of symbols / bytes    
    while (i--) string += string1024;

    i = max;

    // binary search implementation
    while (i > 1) {
      try {
        localStorage.setItem(testKey, string.substr(0, i));
        localStorage.removeItem(testKey);

        if (minimalFound < i - error) {
          minimalFound = i;
          i = i * 1.5;
        }
        else break;
      } catch (e) {
        localStorage.removeItem(testKey);
        i = minimalFound + (i - minimalFound) / 2;
      }
    }

    return minimalFound;
  }
}

测试:

console.log(getLocalStorageMaxSize()); // takes .3s
console.log(getLocalStorageMaxSize(.1)); // takes 2s, but way more exact

对于标准错误，这工作得快得多;而且，在必要的时候，它可以更加精确。

查找可以存储在localStorage中的单个字符串的最大长度

这个代码片段将找到每个域可以存储在localStorage中的String的最大长度。

//Clear localStorage
for (var item in localStorage) delete localStorage[item];

window.result = window.result || document.getElementById('result');

result.textContent = 'Test running…';

//Start test
//Defer running so DOM can be updated with "test running" message
setTimeout(function () {

    //Variables
    var low = 0,
        high = 2e9,
        half;

    //Two billion may be a little low as a starting point, so increase if necessary
    while (canStore(high)) high *= 2;


    //Keep refining until low and high are equal
    while (low !== high) {
        half = Math.floor((high - low) / 2 + low);

        //Check if we can't scale down any further
        if (low === half || high === half) {
            console.info(low, high, half);
            //Set low to the maximum possible amount that can be stored 
            low = canStore(high) ? high : low;
            high = low;
            break;
        }


        //Check if the maximum storage is no higher than half
        if (storageMaxBetween(low, half)) {
            high = half;
            //The only other possibility is that it's higher than half but not higher than "high"
        } else {
            low = half + 1;
        }

    }

    //Show the result we found!
    result.innerHTML = 'The maximum length of a string that can be stored in localStorage is <strong>' + low + '</strong> characters.';

    //Functions
    function canStore(strLen) {
        try {
            delete localStorage.foo;
            localStorage.foo = Array(strLen + 1).join('A');
            return true;
        } catch (ex) {
            return false;
        }
    }


    function storageMaxBetween(low, high) {
        return canStore(low) && !canStore(high);
    }

}, 0);

<h1>LocalStorage single value max length test</h1>

<div id='result'>Please enable JavaScript</div>

请注意，在JavaScript中字符串的长度是有限的;如果您希望查看localStorage中可以存储的最大数据量，而不限于单个字符串，则可以使用此答案中的代码。

编辑:堆栈片段不支持localStorage，所以这里有一个到JSFiddle的链接。

结果

Chrome(45.0.2454.101): 5242878个字符 Firefox(40.0.1): 5242883个字符 Internet Explorer(11.0.9600.18036): 16386 122066 122070个字符

每次在Internet Explorer中运行都会得到不同的结果。

引用维基百科关于Web存储的文章:

Web存储可以简单地看作是对cookie的改进，提供了更大的存储容量(在谷歌Chrome(https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/S5Q9HqDB8bh)、Mozilla Firefox和Opera中，每个源的存储容量为10mb;在Internet Explorer中，每个存储区域为10mb)和更好的编程接口。

我还引用了John Resig在2007年1月发表的一篇文章:

Storage Space It is implied that, with DOM Storage, you have considerably more storage space than the typical user agent limitations imposed upon Cookies. However, the amount that is provided is not defined in the specification, nor is it meaningfully broadcast by the user agent. If you look at the Mozilla source code we can see that 5120KB is the default storage size for an entire domain. This gives you considerably more space to work with than a typical 2KB cookie. However, the size of this storage area can be customized by the user (so a 5MB storage area is not guaranteed, nor is it implied) and the user agent (Opera, for example, may only provide 3MB - but only time will tell.)

不要认为5MB是可用的——local存储容量因浏览器而异，2.5MB、5MB和无限是最常见的值。 来源:http://dev-test.nemikor.com/web-storage/support-test/

曾经我开发了Chrome(桌面浏览器)扩展，并为此测试了本地存储的实际最大大小。

我的结果:

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (64-bit)
Chrome 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Local Storage content size 10240 KB (10 MB)

超过10240 KB的使用返回我的错误:

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'setItem' on 'Storage':设置'notes'的值超过配额。

对于一个Chrome扩展可用Chrome。存储API。如果你在manifest.js中声明了“storage”权限:

{
    "name": "My extension",
    ...
    "permissions": ["storage"],
    ...
}

你可以像这样访问它:

chrome.storage.local.QUOTA_BYTES // 5242880 (in bytes)
