Refer to the relevant files in 'master' for the currently deployed implementation.) The research was done by A/B testing this feature for a small amount of our traffic (a few million page views) over the course of three days. The feature was subsequently enabled in late 2013 for all users. (That is, for user agents passing the localStorage feature test.)
