Web SQL Database API needs to be removed or partitioned #13

Open arthuredelstein opened 4 years ago

Still available in Chromium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_SQL_Database

I'm going to close this as I don't think we want to track all proprietary features here. If browsers ship proprietary features ensuring they do not bypass security and privacy guarantees is up to them. Happy to reopen if that's not acceptable for some reason though.

I do think it's important to keep track of all known features (proprietary or not) that are supercookie vectors, and here is as good a place as any.

This particular API is available in several Chromium-based browsers (at least Chrome, Edge, Brave, ...).

FWIW, Chromium has deprecated WebSQL in third party contexts since M94, and will remove support for WebSQL in third party contexts entirely in M97 (https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5684870116278272)
