Ironically, all the IndexDB implementations were just thin layers on top of sqlite last I checked.

The original slow IndexedDB implementations were done that way, but my understanding is that anything fast and "modern" probably isn't in 2020 as most of the browsers moved to their own IndexedDB storage implementations that are not SQLite-based. IndexedDB has very different expected performance characteristics than a pure relational DB (as it is a key/value store with indexes closer to most "NoSQL" DBs than to SQLite) and it did not (and does not) make long term sense to use SQLite below the hood.
