Mozilla alone is the reason we couldn't have Web SQL and instead we have that stupid piece of shit known as Indexed DB.
So, how did that happen? They had less market share and they still got their way.

- paulryanrogers 7y agoIIRC WebSQL failed more because it was too dependent on Sqlite being the only implementation. So it's not just about the rendering library.
- wayneftw 7y agoYes, they were against it for that reason. Microsoft was meh. Google and Apple were for it. So, my point stands I think. Having only one (very good and stable) implementation for something isn’t a good enough reason to lose such great functionality IMO.
