The security model of Chrome prevents/blocks the user from being able to open file:// links when the user selects (left clicks) the link, or selects to open them in a new window (middle click). Loading this extension will allow you follow file:// links when you explicitly select them (left click/middle click). The HTML elements it will follow are ones like <a href="file://server/share/file.txt"> or <a href="file://c:/localdiskfile.txt">.
To open a link in the same tab, use the left mouse button.
To open a link in a new background tab, use the middle mouse button.
This extension is modelled after the LocalLink add-on for Firefox.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
