Possibly. Or have it as an option in game.project?

hmmm maybe, but in this case user will never know we have something like this in index.html

One concern I have with removing this warning in a release build is that a beginner might export a release build and try to double-click on index.html and end up in the same situation as we're trying to resolve.

If you bundle Defold HTML5 projects into a single HTML file it does work though! You can try it yourself with this tool https://github.com/aglitchman/defold-playable-ads I wish this was a feature of Defold when bundling HTML5 projects as a checkbox since there are many use cases for this beyond ads. Simply making sharable single file games or apps that do work when ran locally is useful too. |

So point is maybe don't force this warning always / add easy way to disable it. |
The warning is added to the default index.html. If you bundle your game into a single html file you won't be using the default index.html anyway. |
A common mistake for beginners is to double-click on index.html when attempting to test an HTML5 bundle. This will not work since the browser is unable to load the rest of the files required to run the Defold game. This change adds a warning message and instructions on how to test an HTML5 build locally:
