Microsoft Visual Studio has been falling behind with cordova development for years. Most of us Cordova developers are switching to Visual Studio Code to gain access to the latest features and updates (from Cordova + all Plugins). You will need to get a little more comfortable with the CLI (Command Line Interface) if you wish to be totally up to date.
A quick recommendation to enable you to start teasing your app in the browser. Install Node.JS (it should already be installed by now), then install the latest Cordova Simulate package from NPM. Use the command line to get into your application directory then run
npm install -g cordova-simulate...then, to test your app in the browser.. you could type simulate ..and your app should now launch in the browser.Please be sure to read the documentation for the Crodova Browser Simulate package here:https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-simulate
