How so? Non-base64 data URLs are relied upon by many websites for inline SVGs in CSS (as it's more compact), so it's unlikely that browser support for them will go any time soon.

Ah, I didn't mean “soon” like that xD
I meant it like “when you continue programming it”, if you use, say, /

Well, the code sample I gave uses /, and it works fine.

It does break if you use non-ASCII characters, which is why I usually set the character encoding to UTF-8:

data:text/html;charset=UTF-8,<style>:root { color-scheme: dark }</style><h1><a href="%23"><ruby>羊<rt>yáng</rt></ruby></a></h1><input type="text" placeholder="lol">

Among the characters that won't work are #, but that mostly occurs in CSS or URLs, and I can just insert %23 instead of using a base64 encoder whilst still maintaining general readability

Oh, the built-in iOS IDE. I wrote the beginnings of a web-based JavaScript OS in the URL bar. Really. On iOS 12.

I made a scratch project that automatically makes base64 encoded data url's

Automatically? Your grammar sounds a bit off.

Aka, log me out from Microsoft Online and don't ask me about it.

I suppose it would be possible to embed a sort-of rickroll or another bait and switch using data:text, but it all get's super weird and stuff, so
