Is there a way to display local .svg files in Google Chrome? I was able to do this under Windows 7, but I just did a clean install of Windows 8 and Google Chrome, and I can no longer display the .svg files that are stored on my computer file system. Every time I try to open a local .svg file, I just get a message that “this file may harm your computer” and asks if I want to download the file.
This is really a problem for me, because I want to use chrome to view a local HTML report (generated by some software package) that contains embedded .svg files. The inability to display .svg files in chrome greatly reduces the usability of reports. Even worse, I have the same problem with Firefox. The only browser that seems to be able to display local .svg files is Internet Explorer ...
Any help is appreciated.
Chrome Version: 26.0.1410.64
Operating System: Windows 8
Extensions: Google docs, Kippt, Pocket
