Web SQL, which was Chrome's implemented proposal to add SQLite to the JavaScript standard library. Chrome said they scrapped it because SQLite wasn't really intended to be used in a security environment as hostile as the web.
Mozilla did not implement it because it's not any kind of standard subset of SQL and no such subset is agreed upon while also useful. They didn't want to tie web standards, supported features in browser releases, and SQLite's release lifecycle to each other.
