Description

Make it possible to open by click a link to a local file that is disabled by Chrome.

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.

[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.

This worked great for me after checking "Allow access to file URLs" as prompted when I first used it. Thank you! I mentioned it on Stack Overflow here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58607712/local-file-links-in-chrome-or-edge/78516710#78516710
