title: How to allow a Google Chrome plugin to access files as webpages
body: <p>I made a webpage that I can view in two ways.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>If I run it on a local webserver, the beginning of the address starts with 127.0.0.1</p></li>
  <li><p>Without a webserver, I can load the file in the browser and the address will start with file:///</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have a chrome plugin that I'm trying to use with this webpage. It doesn't work when the page is accessed in the second way.</p>
  
  <p>I read that this can be fixed by manually changing a setting to allow the plugin to still function on webpages that are files. However the description of the process was unclear and I was not able to get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get this to work?</p>
