How Can I Safely Open Local HTML Files in Chrome Without Security Risks?

Launching HTML using Chrome in "--allow-file-access-from-files" Mode

You may encounter an issue where launching an HTML file using Chrome fails due to a security limitation that prevents file access from other files. To address this, you need to launch Chrome using the "--allow-file-access-from-files" flag. However, using this flag poses significant security risks, as it allows unrestricted access to your file system.

Alternative Solution: Using a Local HTTP Server

Instead of using the "--allow-file-access-from-files" flag, a more secure and robust solution is to run a local HTTP server.

For Windows:

1. Install HTTP-Server globally using Node's package manager:
   npm install -g http-server
2. Launch your HTTP server in the project directory:
   d:my_project> http-server

For Linux:

1. Launch your HTTP server using Python:
   python -m SimpleHTTPServer (Python 2)
   python3 -m http.server (Python 3)
