The Origin Private File System is coming to all browsers, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. It's a universally agreed-on Web standard: https://fs.spec.whatwg.org/ .

Mozilla opposes the picker methods of the File System Access API. They are fully behind the Origin Private File System part, and actually have the SQLite demo from the article running in Firefox Nightly.

Right, there's now a dedicated method: `HTMLInputElement.showPicker()`.

And getting the default permission period right for this feature once unflagged is something we're very actively discussing. Watch our publications web.dev and developer.chrome.com for updates on this.
