Notes

1. Created blob url can't be used as object or iframe src

^* Partial support with prefix.

Bugs

• Safari has a serious issue with blobs that are of the type application/octet-stream

• Chrome on iOS appears to have an issue when opening Blob URLs in another tab see workaround. The same issue occurs for Samsung Internet.

• Internet Explorer intermittently fails to load images via this method. PDF.js has used data URLs instead
