Is there any way to display local .svg files in Google chrome? I was able to do this under Windows 7 but I just made a clean install of Windows 8 and Google Chrome and I cannot anymore display .svg files that are stored in my computer's file system. Whenever trying to open a local .svg file I just get a message saying that "This File can harm your computer" and asking me if I want to download the file.
This is really a problem for me as I want to use chrome to browse a local HTML report (generated by some software package) that contains embedded .svg files. Not being able to display the .svg files in chrome reduces considerably the usability of the reports. To make matters worse, I am having the same problem with Firefox. The only browser that seems to be able to display local .svg files is Internet Explorer...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Chrome Version: 26.0.1410.64
Operating System: Windows 8

I use Google Chrome Dev (109.0.5410.0) on Windows 10.
After recent update I noticed that I am unable to open any .html file from my local disc. Let me describe the scenario.
For example:
In my desktop there is a file as C:\Users\soumyadipd\Desktop\test.html
Now if I drag-and-drop the file to chrome then it opens using the URL file:///C:/Users/soumyadipd/Desktop/test.html in address bar.
But if I double click the file to open then the file failed to open because the URL is http://%22c/Users/soumyadipd/Desktop/test.html%22"
Anyone faced this problem ? Or is it a Chrome bug? Or any other solution is there?
I just upgraded to Google Chrome v73.0.3683.103 and I am now unable to view FTP sites in Chrome. Instead of Chrome loading the FTP directory listing in the browser, it downloads a file named download which contains a directory listing.
How do I get the ability to view the FTP directories directly in Chrome back?
I have tried going into Internet Options > Advanced and clicking on the "Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)" but, that didn't seem to do the trick.
In-browser FTP was deprecated back in v72. I hadn't updated Chrome in a few releases. I have rolled back to v71 until I find a better workflow substitute

We are using a Clickonce application with a registered file association. We are downloading a *.foo file and it should open the ClickOnce program when clicking the file. It will open the program correctly when going to the folder in Windows and double clicking the file. However, when downloading the file in Chrome or Firefox, we are unable to start the program by clicking the downloaded file in the browser view - it looks like its loading for a second but then nothing happens; no error or message. We can only do it by opening the file location and clicking it there. Also, it seems to be working in Internet Explorer, and it will open the program by clicking it on the list of downloads within the browser.
The computer is running Windows Vista, and has Norton 360 installed. We tried disabling Download Intelligence, and all web-related settings on that, but it didn't seem to work.
Any ideas why Chrome and Firefox would be blocking this file from being opened, while Internet Explorer works fine?
For Chrome, we use this extension: Chrome Web Store: Windows Remix ClickOnce Handler.
For Firefox, The ClickOnce team is gauging interest for a new plugin. Please reply to the thread over at github:Microsoft/dotnet/issues/185 to voice your interest.
I'm struggling to open a local HTML file in a native iOS browser from my projects StreamingAssets folder. I'm trying to use Application.OpenUrl(path) but it doesn't work on any iOS device. Meanwhile it is opening this HTML file if I'm building for a standalone Mac or Windows (have not tried it for an Android build).
I must admit that I can read the raw file content (so I'm pretty sure that I have an access to this file) but when I'm trying to open the file after this, just nothing happens. :(
I found that the chrome webbrowser recently disabled the ability to deploy extensions that are not from the chrome webstore. I tried opening my extension.crx directly intro chrome and it wont work anymore, it just download the file.
I know I could use the "load unpacked extension", but I need to do it in about 50 computers, so it's not a very practical way.
Does anyone knows any other ways to deploy an extension that is not in the webstore?
Maybe "loading an unpacked extension" programmatically from an .exe or something like that.
Have you tried dragging it over to Chrome, either from the download bar or the file browser on your operating system? I seem to remember this has been an issue earlier...
There is more information about how to complete this on the Chrome Dev site:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/crx
It looks as if you need to create a zip file, then add additional headers to the beginning of that file, then change the file extension from ".zip" to ".crx"
If serving this file from a web-server, you should use the header "application/x-chrome-extension" to make the Chrome browser understand this is an installable theme/app/extension.
