copy paste big dictionary into chrome console
what im essentially doing is
var dictionary = [ HERE I PASTE ALMOST 200k ENTRIES ]
and it throws :
Error saving setting with name: consoleHistory, value length: 8613059. Error: Failed to set the 'consoleHistory' property on 'Storage': Setting the value of 'consoleHistory' exceeded the quota.
Ten largest settings: Setting: 'consoleHistory', size: 2872834 Setting: 'previouslyViewedFiles', size: 5462 Setting: 'networkLogColumnsVisibility', size: 378 Setting: 'dataGrid-networkLog-columnWeights', size: 340 Setting: 'userAgent', size: 146 Setting: 'Inspector.drawerSplitViewState', size: 94 Setting: 'selectedAuditCategories', size: 79 Setting: 'sourcesPanelNavigatorSplitViewState', size: 65 Setting: 'sourcesPanelSplitViewState', size: 65 Setting: 'InspectorView.splitViewState', size: 42
I want to use the dictionary later to search for things and I hit the wall here.

2018 update:
Confirmed on Version 65.0.3325.181, you can simply right-click anywhere inside the devtools console and click "Clear console history." It solved the problem for me. I ran into this issue earlier and, having never seen it before, began going through the first couple steps to TarranJones' solution.
