    Firefox for Android removing the ability to open local html files killed it for me. Currently on Vivaldi.

      If that’s your only gripe with it, you can still access them by using one of the simple web servers available running inside Termux, that will also allow you to avoid CORS related problems, in fact it is the currently suggested method on MDN

        Yeah, nah. I’ve already got enough unnecessary apps and services with Android.

        Thanks for the workaround, though.

          I mean you’d be running the server only when actually needed, but I understand it is a bit of a hassle to do every time as well

        It was because of ‘security’, which was never explained. And it doesn’t make much sense when other browsers can and do alow it. I’ll see if I can dig up some historical links if I remember tomorrow.

        Last time I checked,there was still no acknowledgement of it and appeared to be no intention of ever addressing it. The fact that they’re now telling people to run a webserver suggests that nothing has changed ☹️
