I am trying to use LoadStrings() in a p5.js and in the console, I get the error “p5.js:60518 Fetch API cannot load file:[FILENAME].txt. URL scheme must be “http” or “https” for CORS request.” I googled it and people said that it only works on firefox but it doesn’t even work on firefox for me here…

As the name of the site implies: Chrome-allow-file-access-from-file.com
That workaround is for Chrome-based browsers only.

For Firefox-based 1s you just use the trick described on the 1st link I’ve posted:
