It's too bad WebSQL never took off, as that was sqlite built in to the browser.

From memory the wasm binary of wa-sqlite is ~1mb, which is certainly not nothing but is an acceptable one-time download size for many web apps. I've seen websites with single image files larger than that. Not an advocating for more bloated web apps, but a sqlite download might not be a deal breaker.
