Will the target page be able to display its modal messages, eg I am asking because I have seen webview issues here on GH that seem to indicate those types of user interaction aren't allowed. |

@gjsjohnmurray No, this uses standard webviews so it has the same sandboxing/limitations. it is not intended to be used as a proper browser so much as previewing pages from a locally running server |
This change adds a new 'simple browser' extension. This extension uses a webview to render webpages directly in VS Code. We plan on using it for optionally previewing local servers in both desktop and codespaces The browser itself has a number of limitations due to the security around iframes: - It traps keyboard focus - We can't detect if a page fails to load - We can't track the current url of the iframe
