//Time to jump through hoops -- browser vendors do not make it easy to detect PDF support.
IE11 still uses ActiveX for Adobe Reader, but IE 11 doesn't expose window.ActiveXObject the same way
previous versions of IE did. window.ActiveXObject will evaluate to false in IE 11, but "ActiveXObject"
in window evaluates to true.
MS Edge does not support ActiveX so this test will evaluate false
let isIE = ("ActiveXObject" in window);
There is a coincidental correlation between implementation of window.promises and native PDF support in desktop browsers
We use this to assume if the browser supports promises it supports embedded PDFs
Is this fragile? Sort of. But browser vendors removed mimetype detection, so we're left to improvise
