The limit came about because trying to open a 100MB file as an html page (even without all the extra styling and interactive options) will break any browser.
I remember opening HTML files in that size range (they were logs) in IE6 around a decade or more ago, on a machine with <1GB of RAM, and it handled them just fine - there was a noticeable delay, but it wasn't unusable. Even searching for strings worked.
