Welcome to Kahuna, the IndexedDB-Manager
Kahuna is a browser extension for managing IndexedDB databases and is available for Firefox and Chromium based browsers, such as Google Chrome, Edge and Opera. Kahuna supports developers to manage databases and provides convenient access to the data they contain. Interested users can use Kahuna to satisfy their curiosity and find out what data the websites they visit permanently store in their browser.
By nature, an IndexedDB database contains object stores in which arbitrary JavaScript objects can be stored. This differs from relational databases, which store data in tables with a fixed column schema. However, since Kahuna displays the data from object stores in a tabular view, the term table is generally used in both this documentation and the application when referring to an object store.
This documentation applies to the latest version of Kahuna, version v1.0.1. If an older version is used, we recommend updating.

By clicking on the icon, the Kahuna layer is displayed above the website. Another click or the 'Esc' button closes the layer again.
