Which ports are considered unsafe by Chrome?
Some ports generate an error (ERR_UNSAFE_PORT
) when browsing to them via Chrome (see this related question). Which ports are considered safe, and which are unsafe by default?

Solution 2:
The reason it's called unsafe is not because it's unsafe to Chrome, it's because it's unsafe to those services, where an attacker may try to use Chrome as a proxy to attacking services on those ports. More explanation here:
