No, it's very exclusive to Safari. Add up all the other bugs in all the other browsers and it's about 0.1% as bad as Safari. It's almost unfathomable how huge and severe the bugs are in Safari. That's why the PouchDB solution was to simply not use IndexedDB on Safari: http://pouchdb.com/2014/09/22/3.0.6.html http://pouchdb.com/2014/09/22/3.0.6.html
Here's my experience from building a fairly complex app that VERY heavily uses IndexedDB. If you follow the IndexedDB spec, you'll wind up with something that is 99% working in Firefox and Chrome. If you happen to run into that 1%, you'll find that Firefox and Chrome devs are very responsive and want to make it work. IE is a little buggy and is missing a couple features, but it's not impossible to work around them. Unfortunately the IE dev team is less responsive and it's not clear if/when they will fix things. But to support Safari, you'd have to do things that are utterly horrifying. It's basically not worth even trying.
