Description
Hi,
I want to run my App in a browser (Chrome), but have problems with accessing the files in the same way as on android or ios.
For example, i want to store data in `cordova.file.dataDirectory`. On Chrome this is `filesystem:file:///persistent/` but when using `resolveLocalFileSystemURL`, i get the error:
`SecurityError: It was determined that certain files are unsafe for access within a Web application, or that too many calls are being made on file resources.`
In the docu I read to execute Chrome with the flag `--allow-file-access-from-files`, but this doesn't help me.
Any Ideas?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Chrome failure around cordova.file.dataDirectory and resolveLocalFileSystemURL, both with and without the --allow-file-access-from-files flag. Trace how the browser platform handles that path and determine whether the result should be a compatibility fix or clearer documentation of the supported behavior.
