It doesn't look like net::URLRequestFileJob does an access check or
handles that condition. However, net::FileProtocolHandler delegates an
access check to net::NetworkDelegate (via OnCanAccessFile), and it looks
like that can be used to fail the load.
I'll give it a try

Title:
Blank page when access to local URL (file://…) is denied

Bug description:
Since version 0.23+15.10.20151005-0ubuntu1, webbrowser-app is running under
apparmor confinement.
This means that access to the local filesystem is denied (file://… URLs).
There is no user feedback when that happens other than a blank page, which is
not really great UX. A user-friendly error message to inform that browsing the
local filesystem is restricted would be better.
