Description

Environment (please complete the following information):
VS Code Version: Version: 1.60.2 (Universal)
Microsoft Edge Version 94.0.992.31 (Official build) (x86_64)
macOS Big Sur

Describe the bug:

when i run my index.html file on localhost:8080 for example and try to edit the CSS in the dev tools, the extension properly tracks my location within the CSS file(highlights the correct area) BUT it does NOT edit anything in my CSS file as I change things within the dev tools(yes i checked that css mirroring was enabled in settings and in the sidebar). (also stable and default are the only settings that let me launch an instance without an error).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with an index.html file served at localhost:8080, then compare CSS edits made in Edge DevTools with the extension's CSS mirroring setting and sidebar state. Done means changing a CSS rule in DevTools also updates the corresponding CSS file in VS Code.
