2015-10-16 08:38:21 James Mulholland description Since version 0.23+15.10.20151005-0ubuntu1, webbrowser-app is running under apparmor confinement. This means that access to the local filesystem is denied (file://… URLs). There is no user feedback when that happens other than a blank page, which is not really great UX. A user-friendly error message to inform that browsing the local filesystem is restricted would be better.

UX Comment: As discussed and agreed during our regular sync-up: "...Use the standard error page for this case, which should come for free once oxide reports a failed load."
