If you want to allow a local file to access a local file in google chrome you go to the terminal and run
$ google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files
Navigate to the desktop launcher / menu entry, open the launcher properties dialog for google chrome.
It should look like this:
/usr/bin/google-chrome %U
To make the flags that you want permanent, modify it to something like:
/usr/bin/google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files
You may also need to delete and re-pin your icon launchers after modifying it. Chrome should launch with the specified flags enabled after the modification.
Alternatively, you can simply create a new launcher with the above and use it to start chrome.
To check if the flags that you modified are being loaded:
$ cat ~/.config/google-chrome/Local State
and scroll up to the block entitled
"session_restore"
Your flags should be listed in the block, before
--flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end
.
Opening chrome and navigating to the URL
chrome://version/
should also list enabled flags in the
Command Line
block
