Description

The first paragraph states 4 bullet use cases.

> - Refresh your web app in several browsers at once.
> - Test across multiple browsers with specific settings such as screen sizes.
> - Select UI elements in browsers in real-time, see what markup and source it's correlated to in Visual Studio.
> - Conduct real-time browser test automation. Browser Link is also extensible.

The latter two remain unexplained:

> - Select UI elements in browsers in real-time, see what markup and source it's correlated to in Visual Studio.

How does it work? Does it even still work? I remember to have seen that kind of interaction with Internet Explorer, but how is it supposed to work with Chromium based browsers?

> - Conduct real-time browser test automation. Browser Link is also extensible.

How does the extensibility work? Browser Link injection is now done by Visual Studio, so how can I interact with it and extend it?

PS: Please also update the article that the nuget package _must_ not be used with .NET 6 and later (it would have saved me quite some time).

Best wishes,
sw
