Did you update VSCode config with path to the chrome executable?

 "browse-lite.chromeExecutable": "/path/to/chrome"

This extension needs a chromium based browser in order to work.

I have the same issue and on a Mac.. I tried every path I could find to chrome on a Mac and it still wont work. Anyone got this working on a Mac? what path did you use?

Better late than never, but I recently got rid of Chrome and I'm using Vivaldi (which is chromium based) and all I had to do was to provide the full path:

/Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/MacOS/Vivaldi
