Have we actually had any big webapi deprecations?

I mean, I guess the death of Flash / Java Applets / ActiveX / etc count, but in the javascript world, doesn't feel like we've actually had that many breaking changes

Sure we have. Off the top of my head, and relevant to this article, the websql api was deprecated after 2-3 years of support.

I guess so. Since WebSQL got sniped well before standardisation (and Mozilla never implemented it in the first place), I wasn’t really counting it
