[javascript] Allow Google Chrome to use XMLHttpRequest to load a URL from a local file

Using --disable-web-security switch is quite dangerous! Why disable security at all while you can just allow XMLHttpRequest to access files from other files using --allow-file-access-from-files switch?

Before using these commands be sure to end all running instances of Chrome.

On Windows:

chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

On Mac:

open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/ --args --allow-file-access-from-files
