Allow loading configuration from local network file

[rodrigoroma]

Hi! First of all, thanks for this excellent project, it's exactly what I needed!

I'd like to host the config files in a shared drive. I tried to set the URL to file:///P:/xxxx/config.json (where P: is a network drive) but it's always "fetching..." and never finish. I tried with some variations of this URL, but all of them stays "fetching..." even if I can manually open them in a normal tab.

Hi @rodrigoroma
For now, I think you'll need to grant this permission to the plugin yourself by right-clicking the logo and clicking manage extensions.
Then look for the switch to Allow access to file URLs

In a future release, I may try request this permission at install time.

Perfect! It couldn't had been easier!

This information could be in README file as it would give people the ideia that it's possible to host the config file in a network drive, and not necessarily in a web server =)

Good idea @rodrigoroma
If it's ok, I'll reopen this issue as a reminder to either add it to the README.md or request the permissions automatically during installation

I don't know if it's really necessary to request this permission during installation as people could be afraid of security/privacy issues. Maybe just explaining how to enable this permission in README or configuration interface would be enough.

What do you think?
