view-source: links broken

Reported by ricardo....@gmail.com, Sep 7 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.89 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to https://jsfiddle.net/ue8hx8gn/
2. Click on view-source.
3. Notice how nothing happens.
4. Console will show a "Not allowed to load local resource" message.

What is the expected behavior?
The browser should be showing the source of the page in a new tab/window.

What went wrong?
The browser didn't show the source of the page in a new tab/window.

Did this work before? Yes Until Chrome 53

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.89  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.10.5
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0
 
Happens on Chrome 53 Windows 10, too.

This appears to be intentional.

Yes, this is an intentional change: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=606619

Here is the public intent to deprecate and remove: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/blink-dev/lyuWXZ_1kXo

Note that no other major browser supports view-source links at this point. The workaround is to copy link address using the right click menu, and paste it in the omnibox.
