Summary:
The Storage Standard defines an API for persistent storage and quota
estimates.
The estimate()
<https://storage.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-storagemanager-estimate> method can
be used to determine whether there is enough space left to download,
estimate() method returns both usage and quota per a origin.
Bug:

Link to standard:

https://storage.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-storagemanager-estimate
<https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transitions-2/#eventdef-transitionevent-transitionstart>
Platform coverage: all platforms.
Estimated or target release: 51
Preference behind which this will be implemented: Not needed.
DevTools bug: Not needed?
Because Storage API needs to have SecureContext support, but currently
not having isSecureContext available in Workers (bug 1269052) is
problematic. Can we initially release the Storage API without Worker
support?

What is the implementation status in other browsers?
That sounds a tad worrisome. Is there a reason why we can't wait until we have SecureContext also in workers?

to smaug, dev-platform
could ship without Worker support. It seems you're on the side of waiting
until we have SecureContext support in Workers :)

How is the quota of an origin decided? Is that something depends on

user's disk capacity or it's just a fixed value? Would that expose new
fingerprint?
