What

HTML string debugger visualizer for Visual Studio that uses WebView2 / Chromium-based Edge component instead of Internet Explorer / WebBrowser one.

Why

  • Built-in HTML Visualizer uses WebBrowser component built on top of Internet Explorer / Trident engine which is extremely outdated and takes ages(like 30+ seconds) to open a simple page. This was driving me crazy when I was writing a simple scraper tool and needed to see if I got the selector queries right.
  • There's a similar tool but
    • It's dead with the last commit made in 2016
    • It uses Google Chrome instead of the built-in browser

Usage

Instal VSIX from VS extension gallery.
