Yes, for the proof of concept. It is an arbitrary limit, as I am not completely sure how people would use the extension: it may fill the users' storage too quickly. In the future, I may consider adding a counter instead (removing websites which have not been visited/searched for X days).
After an hour my laptop was about to crash so I uninstalled it. It was using 8Gb of ram out of 8.

Currently, to avoid computing the embedding of a sentence twice, I put them in a JS Map as a cache. I will find a way to empty the cache.
