Game data wiped?

Howdy! Hosting a game jam right now and was pushing people to use bitsy. Had a community member try to download the html of their file and it seemingly erased all of their game_data and only downloaded a blank file? Is there any hope of recovery?

They are on OperaGX with the Amazon Assistant, Paypal Honey, and (my guess for the issue) uBlock Origin as extensions

We tried getting the local game storage but apparently it just had the same, empty/blank bitsy html they had gotten when they first tried to download.

Hi! I know this doesn't help much, but just to confirm what you might have already guessed, as far as I know since bitsy game data is stored on your local browser, if it's been deleted and is not available in local storage anymore, then I don't know that you can retrieve it.

I hope they didn't lose too much work, or that someone else is able to speak up with a retrieval solution if one exists.

Also fwiw, I appear to have my uBlock Origin turned off for the bitsy page, so I must have had compatibility issues with it at some point in the past. I think you are right that that may be the source of the issue. Have them try turning it off for bitsy and seeing if that fixes the problem.
