Have you explored using IndexedDB?
Not seriously. The "this is an experimental technology" warning on MDN
is off-putting.
The largest audience for MDN is web developers, so we put that warning
on anything that's not ready for widespread use on the public web,
including most things that are prefixed in current browsers.
Here are some other things with the same "experimental technology"
warning on their MDN pages:
* JavaScript "for...of" loops
* CSS transform, transition, animation
* WebSocket
* Set, Map, WeakMap
Obviously we have no qualms against using these ourselves. When an
experimental technology is one that *we* are promoting as part of the
development platform *we* are building, then of course we should using
it in our own code. In fact we should be early adopters, because if
there are issues that prevent us from using our own APIs, then they will
often affect other developers on our platform, so we need to know about
those and fix them.
