With unveil enabled, your browser can only download files to your ~/Downloads sub-dir, and can only upload files from your ~/Uploads sub-dir. So maybe put your HTML file in ~/Uploads and use the new location as the start page? Disclaimer: I am not a user of Iridium or Chromium with unveil, but this is what I remember from Bob Beck's presentation on the subject at EuroBSDCon in September. Hope I got the sub-dirs right! Thinking about it, there should be write access to ~/.cache as well, maybe even /tmp, but these are just extra details.
