Holding my breath for it to be solved as multiple of the web-based tools that I use daily depend on it.
Did a recent Android update break the File Access API in Chrome? On Android 16 with Chrome 142.0.7444.48 I get:
"Failed to execute 'showOpenFilePicker' on 'Window': The user aborted a request."
Google's own FSA demo also stopped working:

SQLite makes for a really nice document store with the json arrow functions. Assume you have a "book" column that is a json blob, then selecting the names of all books is just:
