this extension is installed but not display mini browser
can you explain how to use this extention ?
thanks

[akosyakov]

For example, look at Open With content menu item for some HTML file. You can open it as well programmatically, e.g. to preview an app.

As far as I know, the mini-browser is a browser, so it should be able to display any HTML including react projects. @kittaakos correct me if I'm wrong.

and how to change position of button ?

I guess you will need your custom extension where you can exchange an implementation.

Please reopen if there is anything left to be done/discussed here.

is there an example implementation that opens up a mini-browser by default whenever you run theia in a browser?
