Chrome permits access to ws://127.0.0.1 from https apps. I believe it's also making its way to Firefox, which is currently http only. Other browsers (ie/edge/safari) don't even follow this exception for http yet.

Interesting. My impression from the above bug was that they explicitly decided against keeping it open. If they reversed their position, that would be good news.
Could you give a link where this is discussed? I see crbug.com/378566 mentioned in another comment, but there doesn't seem to be a decision in there, apart from general acknowledgement that the use-case exists.
