I'm tryin to raise that the quota may be larger than what is actually available to websites. This is confusing to developers.

Would "User agents might not report the actual storage space for privacy reasons. Chrome, for instance, always reports 60% of the actual disk size." work for you?

That would be much better, imo. If you happen to know if it is just "Chrome" or rather "Chromium-based browsers", then that would be good to be precise about, too.

I've updated PR. Let me know if that still looks good to you.

Looks good to me, thanks for making the changes and alerting web devs about it. Cheers 🎉
As noted in https://web.dev/storage-for-the-web/#:~:text=60%25%20of%20the%20actual%20disk%20size, Chrome always reports 60% of the actual disk size in the StorageManager API for privacy reasons.
