This bit me. I store my bookmarks as a file under revision control. I have a "bookmarks.js" file, and which is loaded via a local index.html file. There is some javascript magic for filtering, searching etc.

As of today's upgrade opening file:///home/skx/bookmarks.html no longer loads the JS/data. Breaking the system:

https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public

Adding a local webserver is fine, but it's a complication I'd managed to avoid.

For reference this is the error I get:
