Ok, so I have a dynamic page hosted externally. It's set as my homepage on all my browsers. It's full of links to things I use.
Some of those links are on my internal network, and are NOT https (seriously, for small things/apps you don't need it). If I understand this correctly, Chrome will now block me clicking on these links?
I'm all for improving browser security, but as an end user, I should have the option to turn settings off that cause me a problem.

Chrome will block the original page from running queries without your consent to your local networks, eg. a javascript bit trying to find a vulnerable router/crapware on your local network.

I will want to configure a lot of things. However, allowing finer configuration can also be helpful; you might not want to turn off that feature entirely. (For example, maybe if you want to assign that dynamic page to the local zone (if such a thing is possible; the article says something else, though) even if it isn't local, then it will be able to work such links.)
