Preview in Browser

VS code extension to preview a file in browser, using local web server if defined (otherwise, file:// protocol is used).

Web Server domain can be set in workspace setting.

Furthermore, a specific browser can be set for previews (default: Firefox Developer Edition).

Preview in Browser uses opn to launch the browser app.

Browser name is platform dependant as reported in opn readme:

The app name is platform dependent. Don't hard code it in reusable modules. Eg. Chrome is google chrome on OS X, google-chrome on Linux and chrome on Windows.

From 1.1 version a string to be removed from the beginning of local path can be defined in the extension settings.

This extension was inspired by vscode-extensions-open-in-browser and by vscode-local-web-opener
