How to enable "Allow access to file URLs" in google chrome to use some extensions on local files?

I'm trying to use this extension link on my local file. But the option "Allow access to file URLs" is not available on the extension page. Is there any way for the extensions to work on local files?

That extension's manifest only has *://*/* which allows only http/https schemes, but not file. You can suggest the author to replace it with <all_urls>. Or you can download the extension, unpack, remove _metadata folder inside, and install it as a local extension (might wanna do it in Canary or you'll have to suppress the warning). – wOxxOm
