+      <p>
+        If you see this message, it means the web app was not properly started.
+        For example, if you opened the index.html file directly, that would be loaded with file:// protocol
+        in your browser.
+        By default, modern browsers block loading local files due to CORS issues.
+        You need to open the web app via an HTTP server.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        To simplify the visualization of the web report, we provide a webreport.py script to start a HTTP server,
+        and automatically open your browser on the starting page of the report.
+        To simplify its use, we also provide a webreport.command (for Mac) and webreport.bat (for Windows) to easily start the
+        Python script with a simple mouse double-click.
+      </p>
