file:// URLs no longer work in chrome #18

Closed reece closed 4 years ago

reece commented 4 years ago

Summary: file:// URLs used to work in chrome on linux, provided that the the user enabled "Allow access to file URLs" in chrome://extensions/. This stopped working fairly recently (March 2020?).

I've read #3 and the comment on the Chrome web store. #3 refers to firefox, so seems not directly relevant. The comment on the Chrome web store, which refers to #3, is undated. Because I know that file:// URLs have worked recently, that answer seems out-of-date.

I'm using Chrome 81.0.4044.92 on Ubuntu, with LivePage 2.7.0.

When I look at the background page, I see no messages at all (incl debug levels).

Thanks for this awesome extension. It's been extremely helpful for a couple of years and I'd love to recover this lost functionality.

Whoops. I put this in the wrong repo. Is there an egg-on-face emoji?
