-// Design a caching API to be used by the extension which implements the same interface as
-// the browser's native Cache API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache)
-// but uses the browser's local storage API (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/storage/).
-// 
-// Since the local storage API requires all data to be stored as JSON (which doesn't allow some ASCII chars),
-// one of the better approaches is to store the response body as a base64-encoded string. This is not ideal,
-// as it increases the size of the response body by ~33%, but it's the best we can do with the local storage API.
-// See https://stackoverflow.com/a/1443240/13989043 for more information about this.
-// 
-// For serialization (arraybuffer -> string) and unserialization (string -> arraybuffer),
-// use the `FileReader` and `Blob` APIs. Although other options are also possible, this approach
-// is considered to be better for larger files (like models).
