*Carl*, the signs are promising for other browsers to implement all the APIs needed to run SQLite-over-Wasm. I'm optimistic!
*Randy*, how hard would it be to implement something that read user data from Web SQL and wrote it into a parallel table structure in SQLite? Both of these will coexist in Chromium for some time. Let us know how this goes, if you could. I'd also like to be aware of other extensions out there that might be using Web SQL and could have missed our announcements....
