view-source in href shows error in console : <p><code>&lt;a href="view-source:http://stackoverflow.com"&gt;Click Me&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>

<p>This used to work as a valid <code>href</code> attribute but it seems in the past few months it now shows an error in the console (I'm using Chrome): </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Not allowed to load local resource: view-source: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com">http://stackoverflow.com</a></p>
</blockquote>

<p>I found some links from 2013 where this was once a bug in Chrome but said it was fixed.</p>

<p>Could someone point me to an authoritative source that can explain why this no longer works? I assume that this is security by the browser and not an angular issue (since <code>view-source</code> is whitelisted and used to work)</p>
