Enable local file links Chrome Extension Image 1

Description

In Google Chrome, links to local files are disabled, unlike IE. This extension allows you to open a link to a local file by clicking it.

[Setting] Starting with Chrome 118 in October 2023, you will need to enable the "Allow access to file URLs" setting from the extension settings page. chrome://extensions/?id=nikfmfgobenbhmocjaaboihbeocackld

[Security] A malicious page can not open a local file without permission, because this extension reacts only to the click operation by the user.

[Others] Personal information is not collected / used. Source code is released to GitHub. https://github.com/tksugimoto/chrome-extension_open-local-file-link
