Browser

Why Browser in Nimbalyst?

When your project produces HTML — a landing page, a report, a generated preview — you want to see it rendered next to the code and notes that produced it. The Browser extension opens HTML files and live URLs in a real Chromium browsing context inside your workspace, not a constrained iframe.

Because pages render in a full browser surface, sites that block embedding with X-Frame-Options or CSP frame-ancestors load normally. A workspace-scoped local preview server resolves relative assets, so multi-file HTML projects render the way they will in production.

Key Features

• Full Chromium rendering — Pages load in a real browsing context, so iframe-blocking sites work.
• Browser toolbar — URL bar, back/forward, reload, open-in-external-browser, and screenshot capture.
• Source-mode toggle — Switch to raw HTML editing in Monaco at any time, then flip back to the rendered view.
• Local preview server — Relative scripts, styles, and images resolve correctly for files in your workspace.

Use Cases

• Preview generated HTML — Render reports, landing pages, or exports your project produces.
• Iterate on static pages — Edit HTML in source mode and check the rendered result side by side.
• Reference live sites — Keep documentation or a deployed app open in a tab next to your work.
• Capture screenshots — Grab the rendered page for docs, reviews, or bug reports.
