Re: File API - Progress - Question about Partial Blob data

Yes, "stucked" was not the right term, the workaround is to slice the 
blob once the file has been readed and to use workers so the UA is not 
blocked by the operation, both are indeed not great at all, taking a lot 
of time and complicating the implementation while it could be easily 
implemented on a streaming style, I will watch the API handling 
incremental data but I still don't get the use of the partial blob as it 
is in the spec.
