In Chrome you can bring up the Developer Tools (View menu on the mac, I think it's in the wrench menu on other platforms). You can see databases, cookies, etc. in the Resources tab.

Thanks, I see that in the Inspector now.

I recall menus in Safari, Mobile Safari, Firefox and Chrome which listed all the databases stored, along with the name. It was in Preferences near the cookie and password management.

It looks like the 'databases' menu is no longer in Mobile Safari preferences, and now Safari 5.1 will tell you what a website is storing in general terms, but no longer details the individual databases in preferences.

"Evercookie" is more than just standard browser cookies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evercookie
