Google Chrome implements restrictions on accessing local files via "file://” URLs as a part of its security framework. This precaution is in place to safeguard your computer against potentially harmful webpages that may attempt to access files stored on your system.
To navigate around this limitation, I suggest considering one of the following workarounds, depending on your specific needs and preferences:
1. MATLAB Web Browser: MATLAB provides a way to view HTML files without leaving your editor, you can use the following command to open “Webview.html” inside it.
rptview Webview.html
2. Configuring Google Chrome for Local File Access: If your preference is to use Google Chrome for viewing the HTML file, you can create a special shortcut that launches Google Chrome with permissions to access local files. This involves modifying the shortcut to include the --allow-file-access-from-files flag. By using this modified shortcut to open Chrome, you'll be able to view your local HTML files without encountering the security restriction.

I hope this proves helpful to view your local HTML files.
