Why aren't some browsers rendering CSS for local HTML file?

I'm on Zorin(Ubuntu) and when I open my HTML file with Firefox, everything is rendered correctly.

When I open the same HTML file with Brave or Waterfox, the CSS is not rendered.

Everything is rendered correctly for any browser if I first open the HTML file in VSCode then create a Live Server for it.

Is there a default setting in other browsers keeping the CSS in local HTML file from rendering? Thanks in advance.

Impossible to say without more details. Did you try debugging it? See if the CSS file can load? Check the dev console?

If the browser is installed as a flatpak, I think it only gets permission to either the directory the HTML file is in, or just the single HTML file.
Snaps probably have a similar permission restriction.
