/**
  * This is an experimental feature
Because this feature is still in development in some browsers, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers.

A Blob object represents a file-like object of immutable, raw data. Blobs represent data that isn't necessarily in a JavaScript-native format. The File
 interface is based on Blob, inheriting blob functionality and expanding it to support files on the user's system.
An easy way to construct a Blob is by using the BlobBuilder
 interface, which lets you iteratively append data to a blob, then retrieve the completed blob when you're ready to use it for something. Another way is to use the slice() method to create a blob that contains a subset of another blob's data.
Note: The slice() method has vendor prefixes: blob.mozSlice() for Firefox and blob.webkitSlice() for Chrome. An old version of the slice() method, without vendor prefixes, had different semantics, as described below.
