[🐛 Deprecation-Removal]: Type org.openqa.selenium.html5.WebStorage not present

[lprimak]

Description

HI,
I just tried upgrading to 4.35.0 and there is a missing class.
Checked the change log and I cannot find anything that explains the disappearance of the class.

Is this a bug? Is there missing documentation on how to avoid this?

Thank you.

@lprimak, thank you for creating this issue. We will troubleshoot it as soon as we can.

Selenium Triage Team: remember to follow the Triage Guide

That class was deprecated almost 2 years ago and was removed following the normal deprecation policy:
#13373

It was removed with this commit:
f993bfe

I can't find a matching Pull Request for these changes, so it was likely not included in the change log (sorry).

You can see discussion/motivation here:
#10397

It is in the Java changelog. We are still publishing the blog post for this release.
