Embed Notice

Well fuck me. Can't import JavaScript modules over your local file system, because browsers enforce the Same-Origin Policy on module scripts, and browsers treat all files as having different origins.

It being permitted for non-module scripts is viewed as something regrettable that they can't break.

So to develop web pages with JavaScript that you can run locally, I have to rely on behavior that browser vendors would have eliminated if they could.

That's some rain on my parade.
