Issue 3061: Unable to open local files in links with file://
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3061
Comment #2 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
This is by design and for security. Safari 3.1 does not allow this
either. There are two reasons to disallow these
links.
1) If a malicious web site can plan an HTML file in your file system and
navigate your browser to that file, then
the attacker gains the privileges of a local HTML file.
2) If the renderer is compromised, the attacker can use this feature to
read arbitrary files on the your machine
(such as /etc/passwd).
