How do I use sqlite with cordova while testing in a normal desktop browser?

While developing my Cordova hybrid application, I have grown very accustomed to testing my application in a regular desktop browser, and this has worked out very well so far.

Now I'd like to add sqlite functionality to my application. I see that there is a plugin for cordova, but I am curious, how can I write a fallback so that if cordova is not being used, I can use sqlite naturally without using the cordova plugin? Ideally, I'd like it to be abstracted so that the native sqlite object behaves exactly like the plugin, so I can do all of my testing in a regular browser to minimize the number of times I have to install my app to an actual device - the build time for android is very long, so I'd like to avoid it as much as possible.

Thanks!
