javascript - Why does Brackets (code editor) open a new instance of Chrome when using Live Editor? -


in new instance of chrome, of accounts signed out , have relog in. in task bar can see original chrome , can open them side side.

the old instance of chrome:

  • all apps
  • accounts signed in

the new live preview instance of chrome:

  • i dont have of apps
  • no accounts signed in
  • essentially if using chrome first time

what asking is, safe sign accounts on new instance of chrome?

the chrome profile brackets launches live preview has chrome remote debugging api enabled. there 2 reasons brackets uses separate profile this:

  • remote debugging off default, , enabling requires re-launching chrome. using separate profile means existing browsing session doesn't have restarted, disruptive if have lots of tabs open.
  • it reduces security -- other processes on local machine use remote debugging api monitor / interfere other browsing in chrome window. (the api not exposed network, if trust computer malware-free, less of concern).

if don't having open separate chrome window, can check file > enable experimental live preview try out new live preview implementation doesn't require remote debugging api, , doesn't launch new copy of chrome. can't use option if project has custom server url set, though.
