Why aren't some browsers rendering CSS for local HTML file? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm on Zorin(Ubuntu) and when I open my HTML file with Firefox, everything is rendered correctly.

When I open the same HTML file with Brave or Waterfox, the CSS is not rendered.

Everything is rendered correctly for any browser if I first open the HTML file in VSCode then create a Live Server for it.

Is there a default setting in other browsers keeping the CSS in local HTML file from rendering? Thanks in advance.

Impossible to say without more details. Did you try debugging it? See if the CSS file can load? Check the dev console?

If the browser is installed as a flatpak, I think it only gets permission to either the directory the HTML file is in, or just the single HTML file.

Snaps probably have a similar permission restriction.

How are they installed? Are some snaps?

I've only installed browsers with commands from their official website and I've also installed flatpaks.

I'm not sure if stock Firefox on Zorin is a flatpak or snap but it has no problem rendering the CSS.

A long time ago, I saw something very similar with snap in particular. Snap for some reason had no permission on the filesystem I was running on (or limited permissions I forget which).

I just installed from source and it started working. Not sure if that helps you or not, but I would take a look at the inspect element -> Network tab and you should see something.
