In VS Code, I'm trying to host an ASP.NET MVC app. I hit "F5" in order to run the debugger, and VS Code automatically opens my default browser, which is Brave. I get the following error on Chrome and Brave: Vague Browser Error I know that hosting is taking place, because of this debugger info from VS Code.
The local site hosting works well on Firefox, but not on Chrome and Brave. When it worked on Firefox, it prompted me to continue to the site despite the danger. I told it "I understand the risks, please continue", and boom, it worked on Firefox.
I noticed that http://localhost:5000 redirects to https://localhost:5001, which made me think that there was a certificate error. I deleted the default SSL certificate for localhost in Brave, and then in VS Code, I restored it using:
dotnet dev-certs https dotnet dev-certs https --trust
In Chrome and Brave, I tried https://127.0.0.1:5001, and I was given the same prompt that I was given in Firefox, and then it worked after I told the browser "I understand the risks, please continue".
So though I found a workaround, it's very annoying to have to type in the loopback address rather than just let VS Code automatically open the browser. Can someone tell me how I can use localhost on Brave and Chrome?
