Currently private browsing is enabled for inspector which makes localStorage inaccessible. Comment says it's done to keep inspector out of history, but even with private browsing disabled, inspector don't appear in history. Debugging safari showed that inspector's WebView doesn't have history delegate, but I'm not sure because history delegate is assigned in private safari code. Joseph, could you please check if inspector doesn't have history delegate and thus private browsing isn't needed for inspector?

Timothy would be more likely to know. I'll see what I can find.
By the way, your patch should remove the comment if it is no longer true. =)
Comment on attachment 71046 [details] Patch. I do think this is correct now, since we have the history delegate concept and there isn't one hooked up to the Inspector. Assuming you tested and didn't see it show up in Safari's History menu.
