"Hide data URLs" still shows blob: requests

Reported by a...@scirra.com, Apr 27 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2718.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open network tab of dev tools
2. Load a page which loads from blob: URLs
3. Tick "Hide data URLs"

What is the expected behavior?
blob: requests should be hidden.

What went wrong?
blob: requests are still present.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 52.0.2718.0  Channel: canary
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

blob: URLs are very much like data: URIs - they refer to local data and loading them doesn't involve any network traffic. Therefore I think they should be hidden by this option as well. If you load a page which makes a lot of blob: requests then this can clog up the view with no obvious way to clear them. I'm not clear on this but if they also add to the total transferred size/request count then this is misleading for things like page size measurement, since they were not loaded from the server.

This is still an issue and often the entire network panel is clogged up with blob requests which cannot be hidden, e.g.: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15217362/chrome-blob-urls.png

Surely this is a straightforward feature to add?
