// Blobs are not supported in all versions of IndexedDB, notably
// Chrome <37 and Android <5. In those versions, storing a blob will throw.
//
// Various other blob bugs exist in Chrome v37-42 (inclusive).
// Detecting them is expensive and confusing to users, and Chrome 37-42
// is at very low usage worldwide, so we do a hacky userAgent check instead.
