I stand partially corrected. It seems can open a local file in Chrome, but only if you are using a keyboard and if you know the secret handshake. Pure touch users can't due to the lack of a menu or toolbar button to perform the action.

I detest UI that isn't discoverable except by trial-and-terror and consider Chrome's failure in this area to be poor design.

My main point still stands. It is Google's bad design and not the fault of Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 nor their Windows 8/8.1/8.1u1.
