Replace Live Server with Live Preview due to the former being abandoned #37

Open kittydoor opened 2 years ago

kittydoor commented 2 years ago

Live Server has issues such as "Use Browser Preview" no longer working, due to Browser Preview being deprecated in favor of Live Preview. Also, last release was in 17.04.19. It seems to have been a great extension in the past, but times move on and maintainers sometimes move on.

This PR attempts to replace Live Server with a suitable substitute, and also updates the documentation.

Note: I don't have any experience with vscode extensions, so I might have missed important things! If so, please tell me so I can investigate :)

I see that 29 days ago, development restarted (?) on Live Server, and new releases have happened, but the changelog has not been updated and there are still issues such as the one I've mentioned above. I think going with the Microsoft maintained extension might be a better approach still.
