    Not really a fail, if you set your webserver to serve text/html type for .js file extension its perfectly possible. Or imagine an MVC framework handling all the routing, sooo

    To be fair, URLs don't correspond to file types. In that, it could be anything at all

    @liammartens if you look at the start of the url it is file:// and not http:// so it cant be handled by a webserver, it is just opening a js file

    @DavidKevork It is not clear in the picture. And is easy to mock your custom browser to looks like safari 8)

    @DavidKevork Download chromium source code.
    Add support to interpret js as html. Set the chrome icon.
    Compile.
    Profit!

    Other possibility.
    Open an html file.
    Change the Url in location bar as you want but don't press anything.
    Take an screenshot.
    Profit.
