Apparently they have even killed file:// to file:// HTTP requests in/by 
Chromium 108 :-(

So AFAIK it is only possible now with a local Web server where the target 
file is also a resource accessible via HTTP:

  fetch(httpURI).then(response => {
    response.text().then(response2 => {
      var doc = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(response2, 'text/html');
        /* Example */
        console.log(doc.images);
    });
  });

(WFM.)

DOMParser is available since the time of Firefox 1 (2006).
If you do not have fetch(), you should write one using XMLHttpRequest.
