+        If you want to generate scrambles using <code>cubing.js</code>, please
+        ensure the page is accessed from a server using a URL that starts with one of the following:
+      <ul>
+        <li>☑️ <code>http://</code></li>
+        <li>☑️ <code>https://</code></li>

+      Chrome if your browser is showing a file from your file system using a URL
+      that starts with:
       <ul>
-        <li>This code requires the page to be accessed from a server (either from the internet or
-          <code>localhost</code>). It will not work for <code>file://</code> URLs, due to browser security restrictions.
