If we are using vscode in the browser to edit an html file or project, is there a way to view the page?

I think I know what you mean.

On my chromebook I use vscode.dev in one browser tab, and then just drag and drop the .html file in to an empty browser tab and it can run Vanilla JS, CSS3, and HTML without anything else.

Refresh after each save, or install a live server. You could also have VScode running node, or whatever, in the background and just edit in vscode.dev, but that seems a bit excessive.

(Before I was using Crostini to run VScode on my chromebook and it would sometimes become very slow, buggy, or keep flickering (gpu style), and I'd have to restart/kill crostini to fix it, so finding vscode.dev has really helped when I can't find time to get to my workstation.)

CodeSwing is an extension that works in vscode.dev that does this.
