Web SQL deprecation timeline updated
The current target version to remove Web SQL is Chromium 119.

Web SQL was first proposed in April 2009 and abandoned in November 2010. Gecko never implemented it and WebKit removed it in 2019. Web SQL was removed for third-party contexts in Chromium 97. Chromium 105 deprecated Web SQL in insecure contexts and showed a warning in the DevTools Issue panel when the feature is used. Chromium 110 removed Web SQL in insecure contexts. Complete removal in insecure contexts and eventually all contexts is planned for Chromium 119.
