Yeah, it'd be great to see a breakdown of a small (but statistically significant) subset of those 1.6 million hits to see what percentage of them are using data URLs because they're roughly the best available option vs because the dev didn't know about better options like `URL.createObjectURL` (although imo the memory-leak potential of `createObjectURL` makes me instinctively avoid it if data is known to be small), or a different encoding, or whatever makes sense depending on what they're trying to do.
