"cleanUrls": true

The cleanUrls setting is an optional parameter that, when true, will automatically drop the .html extension from uploaded file URLs. If a .html extension is added, a 301 redirect will be performed to the same path without the .html extension

U can use like this.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NC,L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [NC,L]

and name as .htaccess in your root path

When loading HTML files from disk (such as with your file: path), there is no web server in between the file and the browser. With no web server, there is nothing to interpret rewrite rules, and thus this is not possible.

Once you do host your content with a web server, you should know that .htaccess is just a config file naming convention for Apache HTTPD. Ideally, you configure your server somewhere else, as Apache will have to parse that file every time something is loaded in that directory otherwise. This is highly inefficient.
