I'm using a modified version of this (sorry for all the inconsequential changes, that's why I didn't just fork it, maybe someone else wants to make a nicer minimal change), and I just updated it to also detect https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158833 in Safari 10:

var goodIDB = function (cb) {
  if (typeof window.indexedDB === "undefined") {
    cb(false);
    return;
  }

  var idb = window.indexedDB || window.webkitIndexedDB || window.mozIndexedDB;
  var keyRange = window.IDBKeyRange || window.webkitIDBKeyRange || window.mozIDBKeyRange;

  try {
    keyRange.only([1]);
  } catch (e) {
    cb(false);
    return;
  }

  var openRequest = idb.open('__detectIDB_test2', 1);

  openRequest.onupgradeneeded = function (evt) {
    var db = evt.target.result;
    var one = db.createObjectStore('one', {
      autoIncrement: true,
      keyPath: 'key'
    });
    one.createIndex('one', 'one');
    one.add({one: 1});
    var two = db.createObjectStore('two', {
      autoIncrement: true,
      keyPath: 'key'
    });
    two.createIndex ('two', 'two');
    two.add({two: 2});
  };

  openRequest.onsuccess = function (evt) {
    var db = evt.target.result;
    var transaction;
    try {
      transaction = db.transaction(['one', 'two'], 'readwrite');
    } catch (e) {
      cb(false);
      return;
    }

    var count = 0;
    transaction.objectStore('one').index('one').openCursor().onsuccess = function (evt) {
      cursor = evt.target.result;
      if (cursor) {
        count += 1;
        cursor.continue();
      }
    };

    transaction.oncomplete = function () {
      db.close();
      cb(count === 1); // Will be 2 in Safari 10 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158833
    };
  };
};
