Description

VS Code 1.121 was just released with "Quickly open HTML files in the Integrated Browser".

This effectively removes the need for this extension in many cases. But maybe not for all?

I think the README should have an update mentioning instead what value this extension adds on top of the built-in ability to open HTML files. It might even be so that this extension is of much less value and should be deprecated?

Research direction

Read the README and the linked VS Code 1.121 release note first. Update the README to explain what this extension provides beyond the built-in HTML preview, or clearly document the remaining uncertainty about its value; done means the extension's current role is accurately described.
