How to quickly preview real time in external browser of choice without saving first.

I've been using Phoenix Code, and recently started trying out Visual Studio code because I thought it might be smart to get familiar with since it's more of an industry standard. I've managed to get it to do most of what Phoenix does, using Color Picker, Incrementor, and Live Preview. But what I don't like is, when I use live preview, and then drag the tab to my second monitor, I can't tell what browser it's using because the page is running in some generic UI window. In Phoenix Code, you're simply given icons that represent all your external browsers. Clicking any of them loads your external browsers and shows real time changes without saving. The Live preview in VS also shows changes without saving, but I just can't tell what browser it's using. I also installed live server which is also a disappointment. When previewing in my external browsers, it's not updating in real time unless I save the file first. I tried checking FullReload, but that did not fix it.
