| 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 . |
