GitHub describes it as A real browser preview inside your editor that you can debug.. The repository metadata lists TypeScript as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: The Live Preview extension is under active development and has much of the same functionality, including an embedded preview and external browser debugging.

The README section ":rotating light: Deprecation Notice" states: Browser Preview for VS Code enables you to open a real browser preview inside your editor that you can debug. Browser Preview is powered by headless Chromium, and works by starting a headless Chromium instance in a new process. This can either be Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. This enables a secure way to render web content inside VS Code, and enables interesting features such as in-editor debugging and more!
