Local Storage Exposed to Users

Are the values of items stored using the localStorage API viewable by users? Just like cookies?

A: 

Safari and Chrome's web inspector allows inspection of that data, yes. I'm not sure how other browsers handle it, but it's certainly not something you can depend on not being edited.
