title: Does localStorage in Javascript get wiped off after clearing browser history
body: <p>I have a little question.</p>
  
  <p>Does localStorage get wiped off once the user clears the bowser history?</p>
  
  <p>If yes, then is there a way that I can save a URL as a string on the mobile device somewhere which always stays there even if the user or any other application forces the browser history to be cleared.</p>
  
  <p>And I can go get that string(URL) whenever I need it for my mobile app.</p>
  
  <p>The thing is I want to save URL of a restful service which fetches updates to the mobile client. I want that whenever a user launches my mobile app <strong>for the first time only</strong> he should manually key-in that URL (that will be provided by me)  to get the updates and then some how  I use some JavaScript API to save that URL on mobile device(which user is never ever able to delete even if the browser history is deleted anyway)so that on every subsequent launch the user needs not to key-in that URL again for the updates and if the updates exit mobile app should automatically be able to get that saved URL and contact the service to fetch the updates.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
