Description
The documentation says:
"Allow following file:// links, restricts to 127.0.0.1", but in fact when I turn on --local, then I'm able to access browse on a remote machine because the links hoogle generates are not preceded with file://
This is very confusing.

Research direction
Start by locating the --local option and the code that generates browse links, then compare its behavior with the documented file:// restriction and 127.0.0.1 access. Confirm how links behave for local and remote machines, and consider the issue done when the implementation and documentation agree about --local.
