IndexedDB support is horrible across all browsers. You'd be surprised at how much of the spec Chrome doesn't support.

Actually I wouldn't, because I've built a non-trivial app using IndexedDB :)

But don't believe me, believe the results of the W3C test suite: http://w3c.github.io/test-results/IndexedDB/all.html

And don't just look at the headline numbers, look at the tests that actually fail, because some are more important than others.

The only test that fails in Chrome [1] is only marginally meaningful. It would be nice if they got it working, but all the tests that actually use IndexedDB pass in Chrome. 100%.

Firefox is almost as good as Chrome, but it fails on tests of error handling for a few edge cases that are very unlikely to occur in the real world.

IE and Safari have many failures for tests of core functionality (Safari is even worse than IE if you look at the individual tests that fail, rather than the overall %).
