Do we plan to set the default to false in a followup?

Thats up for discussion, I didn't know if we wanted to keep it enabled by default upto a certain electron version and then disable it ?

Is this a purely renderer-side check? Is there any way we can disable this browser-side as well?

We can't disable on browser side in an isolated way, it only manages quota for storage and establishes connection to SQLite https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:storage/browser/database/

The renderer side check is pretty consistent and powerful.

There is flag --disable-databases https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:content/public/common/content_switches.cc;l=116 but it would disable both indexedDB and webSQL

If this is a renderer-side check only, then I think this being a process-wide switch rather than a per-RenderFrame switch is wrong. However, since most of our other web preferences have the same issue, I won't block this PR on the issue.

Thanks @nornagon , but we don't currently expose a way to set per RenderFrame flags from the browser process. We have to expose the RenderFrameHost as a property on the webContents to achieve it or some other similar mechanism.

Is there another approach you have in mind ?

Not currently, I think this is something @loc is exploring.

Cool, thanks!

Failing tests are unrelated, merging.

I was unable to backport this PR to "8-x-y" cleanly;
you will need to perform this backport manually.
