Converse uses the localForage for offline localstorage which offers drivers for localStorage, IndexedDB and WebSQL. Converse only offers localStorage, IndexedDB as configurable drivers for offline storage.
The localStorage driver is the fastest, but has a hard limit of 4MB. IndexedDB overcomes this limit, but is much slower. WebSQL is not supported on all browser platforms and may soon be deprecated.
Browser extensions have access to chrome.storage which offers local and sync drivers that offer more features. chrome.storage.local can perform as fast as localStorage and configured with no memory limits, while chrome.storage.sync has more limitations and restrictions, but offers storage that is synchronized across multiple platforms.
