I want "Disable cache" to be unchecked by default or at least remember my last option.
Right now it is always enabled when reopening chrome devtools.
wOxxOm comment solved it.
Clicking "Restore defaults" in devtools settings solved it.
I am setting up my VS Code environment for the first time, but I can't figure out how to set Chrome as the default browser for the workspace.
Go to file-> preferences -> user settings -> search "By Default it will open your default favorite browser" set your browser.
The other StackOverflow questions regarding the browser, had to do with opening a specific file. Here are the steps to creating a tasks.json file in a brand new environment.
From the Tasks menu, Select 'Configure Tasks'
The entry field prompts you for 'Select a task to configure'
Choose 'Create tasks.json file from template'
Edit the file to include the following block:
{
"version": "0.1.0",
"command": "Chrome",
"windows": {
"command": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
},
"args": ["${file}"]
}
Chrome can be launched by way of debugging your application. Within launch.json, the configurations[].serverReadyAction.action configuration was given a possible value of debugWithChrome in the VS Code February 2019 release. Note that this will also require you have the Debugger for Chrome extension installed. You will not receive a warning if the extension is not installed and you've configured launch.json to use debugWithChrome.
Note: Configuring launch.json with debugWithChrome will work even if you launch using CTRL+F5 to run the app without debugging.
Go to Settings -> Extensions -> Live Server Config -> Update Default Browser:
This Alternate Way helped me:)
GoTo-->Google Chrome-->Settings-->Default browser-->Set Google Chrome as default browser
The method of modifying tasks.json no longer works in newer versions of Visual Studio Code. The easiest way to be able to launch your code in a browser is to install the Open in Browser extension from the marketplace.
After it is installed and VS Code is reloaded, you can go to your code and press ALT + B to launch your application in your default browser or ALT + SHIFT + B to select the browser you want to use.
You can also right click and select these option from a drop down menu, but I mention this last because this currently does not work in some versions of VS Code.
Just a helper for the windows users, I just installed windows 10 again and I was wondering how do I set my vscode to open the server (web) using chrome instead of edge, so to do that you just have to configure your windows to use google chrome as default, you don't need to change anything in vscode, I hope this helps someone.
ps: normally you can go open browser you want to be default and setup the configuration. so in chrome you have to go to configurations and scroll down to default browser.
When you want to use your own browser using "Open with Live Server" without change OS globally configuration.
In Windows, Visual Studio Code (ver. 1.70.1 (July 2022)). Go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Settings"
Then select a tab, "User" tab if you want your desired browser for all your projects, or select "Workspace" tab or "ProjectName" tab for especified projects.
Then go to "Extensions" > "Live Server Config" > "Settings: Custom Browser" finally change the 'null' value selecting the browser of your preference from the list (apparently this list depends on installed browsers but i'm not sure).
search for local.testsettings on vscode on the search and for web tests, change the browser to chrome and apply.
The Live Server extension was not appearing for me on settings. However, I installed Open in Browser and typed "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser" in settings and the extension appeared with a dropdown box in which I was able to change the default browser.
Hope this helps!
This may be old but I found something that could help.
First go to Settings/Apps/Default Apps. Set your browser as default.
Next go to VSCODE and go to File/Preferences/Settings/Extensions/LiveServerConfig
Then scroll to settings: CustomBrowser
Change it to your custom browser
Note- If the browsers don't show up on VSCODE then you need to set it to default in the settings.
You can adjust settings in your computer to open.HTML file extensions in chrome as a default browser:
for Example in PC windows:
go to Control Panel > Default programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a specific programs >HTML extension and choose Chrome.
In my case changing the default browser in the system settings of my pc did it.
None of the above works in my case(my version is August 2022 1.71) to make it work I went straight to **
File-->Preferences-->Settings-->Extensions-->Plugin open-in browser
** from there was a option which says Default set browser so I choose Brave as there is no ads in it while playing the video as chrome plays ads so for getting a proper feeling of using my self made Jarvis I used Brave.
Thanks
Click settings -> enter: default browser -> find: Open-in-browser:Default -> enter: Google Chrome
Google Chrome > Settings (left sidebar) > Default browser = Google Chrome
Just change your default web browser in your OS.
In Windows 10, you can search "default browser" then the wizard for changing it, will be appear.
I've disabled Telemtry and Crash updater from my VSCode settings. Still VSCode makes requests to the internet. I think It does that to query extension results and downloading, update the VSCode software, fetch the internet images in my markdown etc.
Consider I just installed VSCode, setup extensions which I want and then I'll choose to manually update VSCode from now on.
In windows defender "Allow an app through Firewall", I don't see VSCode there so that I can disable internet to VSCode.
I don't want any new extensions or updates, no fetching images from internet etc. Is there a way I can disconnect VSCode completely from accessing the internet?
Go To File --> Preferences --> Settings.
Type in the search bar "Update".
And disable what you need.They have a setting for everything. For example:
Extensions: Auto Check Updates --> Uncheck
Update: Enable Windows Background Update --> Uncheck.
Please See Attached Photo.
I want to update the settings on github via Settings Sync when I close VSCode, is there any way to do it?
The Settings Sync extension does have an option to upload the settings whenever thesettings are changed:
Toggle Auto-Upload on change
Auto-upload is disabled by default. When the settings are changed and
saved this feature will automatically start the upload process and
save the settings online.
Select Command "Sync : Advanced Options > Toggle Auto-Upload on
Settings Change" command to Turn ON / OFF the auto-upload.
Or set
"sync.autoUpload": true,
false is the default.
------- UPDATE -----------
Also see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_43.md#settings-sync as a preview feature in v1.43. Or see my fuller answer here:
Is there any way to sync my Visual Studio Code settings between instances?
You can now sign in with your GitHub account to synchronize your VS
Code preferences.

It defaults to my safari but would like to change it to chrome. I looked in preferences, but there doesn't seem to be an option for that. Any ideas?
Go to Files > Prefrences > Settings
From Default User settings choose LiveServer Config
Inside it click on pen icon to the left on liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser select chrome.
Go into settings. Shortcut: hold command then comma on mac.
In the top search bar search: liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser
You will see: Live Server > Settings: Custom Browser
In the drop down menu select whatever browser you want e.g. chrome or chrome:PrivateMode etc..
or
Open settings.json file
Type or copy and paste the following in the next line: "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome"
Make sure that there is a comma after the code in the previous line.
e.g.
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome"
Thanks! to above answers. On Mac select VS and press [command + ,] or from menubar choose code->Preferences->Settings. It will open the Settings tab and enter live server config in search bar follow the steps given below
This is how I did it on MacOS (you have to hit the gear, then select "Configure Extension Settings")
I was also looking for this, while trying to change to Google Chrome Dev.
And discovered you can practically change to any browser you want, just type the name of the app on your settings.json
Example:
"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "Google Chrome Dev"
If you had installed globally your live-server while using npm package, you can easily start your live-server on the browser of your choice by passing browser option on your launching command:
On your terminal type :live-server --browser=BROWSER_NAME
Eg:
live-server --browser=firefox,
live-server --browser=safari
and some macbooks accepts
live-server --browser='Google Chrome' for google chrome while others
live-server --browser=google-chrome
NB:For mac live-server --browser=chrome will throw an error
You can do it in 2 steps:-
1) In package.json under scripts section create a key value as "devserver": "live-server --browser=Chrome".
2) In terminal run npm run devserver
This will open application in chrome.
How to customize your non-traditional browser in "liveServer"?
Go to Files > Preferences > Settings and search .json and click on settings.json file
or press SHIFT + CTRL + P and tab Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)
Write on JSON file
"liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine": To set your any favorite browser (Eg: Chrome Canary, Firefox Nightly) using advance Command Line. (You can specify full path of your favorite custom browser).
This setting will override "CustomBrowser" and "ChromeDebuggingAttachment" settings.
Default Value is null
Examples:
chrome --incognito --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222
C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe --private-window
Check out my photo or see this link on GitHub for more details.
Note: Either use "AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine" or "CustomBrowser". If
you use both, "AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine" has higher priority.
Click windows+i
