VSCode Debugging - Does Client Side debugger break points work?

So I've got server side debugging working in VSCode with breakpoints but I can't for the life of me get it to work for the frontend even when I'm opened using the VSCode Chrome extension. Does this just not work?

just type debugger on the line you want the code to stop and then open you console and use your console tools.

Yeah I just wanted to use vscode to avoid having to write debugger in my code 😂 small quality of life things I guess

i think the only way to get the debugger to trigger in vscode via clicking the red button is if you run the app via a vscode connected browser i.e you cant just open chrome/edge and navigate to localhost:3000 the 2 apps wouldnt know how to communicate there is a debugger in place
