Hi @amitport, it seems you're now owner of the blob package 🎉

Can we not simply remove the blob dependency and some other old legacy stuff?

I mean Blob and arrayBuffer is supported now in all "green" browser version... just a question, what browsers are you giving support to? MS stop giving support to IE < 11. Are you going to do the same?

Also do we still want to do PhantomJS relevant stuff? there is no page visitor that use phantomJS. only developers who want to do testing. so 99.9% of all users won't even care

var isPhantomJS = typeof navigator !== 'undefined' && /PhantomJS/i.test(navigator.userAgent);

Now days most ppl use headless chrome

Important: PhantomJS development is suspended until further notice (see #15344 for more details).
