| The webdata component manages the "web database", a SQLite database stored in | |
| the user's profile containing various webpage-related metadata such as autofill | |
| and web search engine data. A single database (per profile) is shared by many | |
| unrelated features. | |
| **If you are adding data storage for a [new] feature and want to use SQLite, you | |
| should probably default to creating a unique database using the compat layer in | |
| [`//sql`](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:sql/).** | |
| See [SQLite is a local optimum for Chromium](https://bit.ly/3Xc3EcH). | |
| This component is not allowed to depend on content/, because it is used by iOS. | |
| If dependencies on content/ need to be added, this component will have to be | |
| made into a layered component: see | |
| https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/layered-components-design . |
