I think this will be great for extensions. Currently the only solid choice is to use the dead simple storage.local which only allows to retrieve things by ID.
There's one problem though, this new API is for the web, so the nature of this storage is temporary - obviously the user must be able to clear it when clearing site data and this what makes it currently an unviable solution for a persistent extensions data storage. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=138321...
