Safari 10: SecurityError (DOM Exception 18): The operation is insecure.

[medialwerk]

If Safari 10 does not allow access to the local storage this error is thrown: "SecurityError (DOM Exception 18): The operation is insecure".

This happens because of these lines:

https://github.com/i18next/i18next-browser-languageDetector/blob/master/src/browserLookups/localStorage.js#L29

https://github.com/i18next/i18next-browser-languageDetector/blob/master/src/browserLookups/localStorage.js#L38

Safari already throws this error if you access "window.localStorage".

Thanks! :-)

hm seems same as: angular-translate/angular-translate#629

means only solution is putting all in a try-catch block and have a silent failure...means no cookie and no localStorage -> changeLanguage won't be persisted on session refresh - which might be ok in this cases...who turns off cookies anyway.

If you like you might provide a PR to speed it up...else i will try to make the change when i'm back from holiday.

@medialwerk can you try [email protected] that should avoid triggering this exception using the try-catch block
