Open local file links
Open local file links is a free Chrome extension developed by kanitz.dev. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
Google Chrome has a default setting that disables links to local files (file://). However, this extension provides a solution by enabling users to open these links. This is particularly useful for developers and users who frequently work with local files and need to access them directly from their browser.
With Open local file links, users can now easily navigate to local files by simply clicking on the links, whether they are in HTML or SVG tags. This extension eliminates the inconvenience of having to manually copy and paste file paths into the browser's address bar. It offers a seamless experience for accessing local files within the Chrome browser.
