VS Web Essentials 2017 has failed to add the toolbar to the internet browser when debugging. Is there a fix for that or has the toolbar been removed from the VS Web Essentials 2017?

Copied from original issue: aspnet/Tooling#1033

It was removed for several reasons.

  1. It interfered too much with the DOM of the running page
  2. It didn't work when the various features were split out into their own extension
  3. I build this Chrome extension to replace it

That's great, thanks Mads

I just wanted to clarify this for everyone who is having the same problem. After installing Web Essentials 2017 and the extension in the Chrome browser: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-essentials/mghdcdlpcdiodelbplncnodiiadljhhk you will also have to install additional addon in Visual Studio in order to work in design mode or to inspect the elements of the website called Browser Link Inspector: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.BrowserLinkInspector2017
