Chrome believes that any uri accessed via the file: scheme violates the same-origin policy.
The workaround is to close Chrome, and then run it with the --disable-web-security
option (just don't forget to close and re-open Chrome before browsing the web).
It looks like gentle uses XMLHttpRequest
fairly often (the partial1 template, the english.txt file, the mnemonic_seed Worker(), probably others too), so it seems difficult and not very productive to rewrite it all. Perhaps a better approach would be to detect Chrome in index.html and display some instructions on how to work around this?
It actually works on Chrome now but it has to be either served from a web server (python comes handy) or you need to start chrome/chromium with a flag: --allow-file-access-from-files
.
The README is now updated to note this. Closing.
If you open the downloaded index.html in the package from GitHub in Chrome it shows a green background and nothing else.
It works correctly on Safari 7.0.3
