How do I get Chrome to open local SVG files instead of downloading?

Much like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21531061/image-url-downloads-the-image-instead-of-displaying-it I have a Chrome browser that refuses to display local SVG files rather than dowloading them.

  • I have updated Chrome to the latest version.
  • I have reset settings and flags to default.
  • Platform is PC.
  • The Chrome browser is managed through GSuite.
  • It does NOT help setting Chrome as default viewer for SVG files.
  • It does NOT help enabling Always open files of this type (in fact, in combination with setting Chrome as default viewer it stars a download SVG loop).
  • Opening SVGs from an online resource, for example https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Example.svg, DOES work.
    • Downloading that SVG and opening it with Chrome does NOT, however. It just re-downloads the file.

Any suggestions?
