While Chrome currently provides the Filesystem Storage API as documented at the [https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_storage Chrome developer site], its use was required explicit user permission and was targeted at Chrome apps primarily. Chrome apps are being being phased out of Chrome proper in favor of [https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/ progressive web apps], and the Filesystem Storage API is being removed as part of that process, and no replacement is planned.

However this API is targeted at Chrome OS and will be removed in Chrome. Currently 1,424 apps out of 37,652 ask for filesystem access. No word has been given of a replacement at this time.
