Can’t get info anywhere on this – Am I right in saying its impossible.
I’m testing for cookies and would like to put a link within the notice paragraph directing the user straight to the cookie settings of that particular browser?
I’m using Javascript/jquery and RoR…
Any ideas or links you may know of would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Not possible. If it was, it would be a security issue.
By default,
chrome://chrome/settings/will not be accessible. It throws the exceptionNot allowed to load local resource: chrome://chrome/settings/. Same applies toabout:URLs in firefox.You could probably hack certain browsers into doing that, but there is no standard cross-browser way of doing that.
Try it for yourself: JSFiddle
It is possible to access
chrome://URLs through a chrome-extension for sure, when given thetabspermission.
