Hi Everyone, Related to this removal of navigation to filesystem URL, there is a release notes in 104 probably related: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/10314655#108&zippy=%2Cchrome:~:text=First%20mode%20feature.-,Block%20iframe%20contexts%20navigating%20to%20filesystem%3A%20URLs,-Beginning%20in%20Chrome
When I am using Chrome OS 104, I see that the webview and iframe tag cannot navigate to filesystem URL anymore, and this also happened on 104 105 106 107, but on Chrome OS 108, the webview and iframe tag can navigate to filesystem URL again. Is the navigation to filesystem allowed back on 108 and above ? May I know how is the future about the behavior of navigation to filesystem because I don't see anything related filesystem in the release notes of 108 ? Thanks.
