Change description:
WebSQL was implemented in WebKit and Blink as a thin layer on top of SQLite. WebSQL has failed to get traction with other browsers, and the work on the standard has been discontinued. Due to the SQLite implementation, WebSQL exposes a full text search extension (FTS3) which has proven difficult to maintain. WebKit has removed FTS support from its WebSQL implementation. Given its low usage, we would like to do the same.
Changes to API surface:
The following query will no longer work "CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE foo USING fts3(bar);"

This issue has been automatically relabelled type=task because type=launch-owp issues are now officially deprecated. The deprecation is because they were creating confusion about how to get launch approvals, which should be instead done via type=launch issues.
We recommend this issue be used for implementation tracking (for public visibility), but if you already have an issue for that, you may mark this as duplicate.
