great article! I've downloaded most of the extensions listed in it. Just a quick note though, Live Server is ok but imho nothing beats Preview on Web Server which has perfect integration with VS Code 'cos it doesn't open up a windows in a external browser but within VS Code.
in addition, you can have a web browser in visual studio code. Sometimes I use it to study something for instance, without leaving VS Code at all. They added this very recently:
You go to the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and choose Simple Browser: Show (paste or type a URL, press Enter, and there you go!).
You also have the Browser Preview extension, which also lets you navigate the internet while in VS Code. More or less the same as before -this one uses headless chromium-.
It can be useful sometimes to have everything on VS Code. I like working like that, with PDFs, a full website open for whatever reason (i.e. Blazor University), everything on VS Code, there are also articles like this one, mentioning a Stack Overflow View extension, which can be useful, etc.

Thanks! Great, nice you let me know about Preview, I will give it a try too :)
hope you like it. It has been very useful to me when editing html and css files together, sometimes with some javascript.
With Auto Save on, you see the results in real time without having to use Control + S, it works very well. Cheers Savvina!
