Details
This bug was originally filed on the WebCompat issue tracker:
https://webcompat.com/issues/28402
STR:
- Load https://rie.cl/?ps=410 in Focus 8.0.0 (GV 65).
RESULT:
The page shows a pop-up saying "errror" [sic] instead of loading the content.
I can reproduce bug in Focus 8.0.0 (GV 65), but not in:
Focus 6.1.1 (WebView)
Fennec 66
Fennec 67 Beta
Fennec 68 Nightly
Fenix (GV 67)
Reference Browser (GV 68)
Tom Wisniewski isolated a simple test case that reproduces the problem in Focus + GV 65:
var request = window.indexedDB.open("pwa", 1);request.onerror = function(event){alert('errror');console.log("error: ");};

Interesting. Since this bug only appears to affect Focus + GV (and not GV in Fenix or RB), this is probably a Focus bug. Users wouldn't want to save IndexedDB in the private browser anyways. I'm going to WONTFIX this bug until another GV-powered app has the same problem.

Had a late night thought on this and tested to confirm: it's private browsing mode that causes the error here. With private browsing enabled it reproduces on both Fenix and Fennec. Reopening so we can re-triage Thursday.

And desktop, for that matter. This might just be desired behavior for private browsing.

In that case, this is a dupe of seven-year-old "IndexedDB doesn't work in Private Browsing Mode" bug 781982. It's not desired behavior, but fixing it could be a lot of work and has been a low priority for desktop. IndexedDB does work in Chrome's Incognito Mode.
