thanks for the idea, I will try it because it looks like BLOB is smaller than base64 and looks like maybe faster to render too due to not having to decode/encode. It is unfortunate I was not aware of this sooner with regard to the "data format juggling" but still...

I'm having an issue where there's too much data being loaded/pulled from Indexed DB so I have to do stuff like pagination, but this will help no doubt.
