Hi Asier,
Please see our "living" deprecation blog post at
https://developer.chrome.com/blog/deprecating-web-sql/. The deprecations
steps so far:
- [✅ Done.] Web SQL was deprecated and removed for *third-party contexts*
in *Chromium 97* (Tue, Jan 4, 2022).
[✅ Done.] Web SQL access in *insecure contexts* was deprecated as of
*Chromium 105* (Tue, Aug 30, 2022) at which time a warning message was
shown in the Chrome DevTools Issue panel.
[📍 We are here.] Web SQL access in *insecure contexts* is no longer
available as of *Chromium 110* (Tue, Feb 7, 2023). An *enterprise policy* to
keep using the feature is available from *Chromium 110* (Tue, Feb 7,
2023) to *Chromium 111* Tue, Mar 7, 2023.
- [🔮 In the future.] The final step will be to remove Web SQL
completely *in all contexts*, but no date has been set for this step yet.
The replacement is ready, and I'm working on documenting it. The article is
currently still in review and will probably still change significantly, but
I send you a staging link in private.
Cheers,
Tom
