      @Green_Footballs Alright, I know what happened: prior to launching in v86, the alternative path (web.dev/browser-nativefs/#saving-(rather:-downloading)-files) would sometimes be taken. This path allows storing plain JSON files. Since v86, the new API path (web.dev/browser-nativefs/#saving-files) is always being used. It requires Blobs.

    @Green_Footballs The lib makes the switch transparent (web.dev/browser-nativefs/), so if you don’t pay close attention, you may not be realizing what path it uses. Origin trials are capped (github.com/GoogleChrome/OriginTrials/blob/gh-pages/developer-guide.md#3-what-happens-if-a-large-site-such-as-a-google-service-starts-depending-on-an-experimental-feature), so even if your site is opted in, you may still be switched back to not using it.
