Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin Chrome fix

When working on simple html prototypes that don't really need a backend server (Single page app prototypes). You often need to load html / js files from disk. This is disallowed for your protection by default and you will get errors like:

Failed to load resource: Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. file:///D:/asdf.html
XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///D:/asdf.html. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. 

Simple solution for chrome: Start with --allow-file-access-from-files option :

chrome --allow-file-access-from-files
