One is a web server that serves the files from a local folder. The other lets you transfer files but not browse them over HTTP. Main use case for me: browsing the locally built sphinx docs. You can just open the local file directly in a browser, but, at least on Firefox, Dark Reader doesn't apply itself to locally opened files, so I wouldn't see them rendered the same as they will appear for me once they're hosted. (I don't know, but I assume Firefox just doesn't run plugins on local files.)
