vscode.dev : Bringing VS Code to the browser

Although I’m still using Visual Studio (or Rider depending on the mood) for my day to day C# development(and F# occasionally), I use Visual Studio Code for all other languages and web development.

With vscode.dev, your favorite code editor becomes available everywhere without the need to leave the browser and install anything.

Thanks to the File System Access API support in modern browser, vscode.dev can access the local file system. This enables scenario’s like local file viewing end editing.

Integration with Github and Azure DevOps is also available allowing you to sync your changes with repositories on both platforms.

However don’t expect that vscode.dev is already on par with the desktop version in terms of functionality. For example, there's no internal debugging or terminal with vscode.dev.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
