- the viewer was not loading in development mode on Safari, due to Safari
having crypto.webkitSubtle instead of crypto.subtle.
- the isCachingPossible check was amended to check for crypro.subtle
which is currently not in Safari but in Firefox and Chrome. This
essentially works around the issue by disabling caching for Safari
in development mode.
- maintainer sentiment: people who develop on Safari can get this speedup
once Safari drops prefix for SubtleCrypto.
- note: at time of writing Safari Version 10.1 (12603.1.30.0.34) has an
issue where caching can be enabled for PDF.js but must to be disabled for
worker, otherwise the two sides do not communicate.
