Simple answer is no it doesn't, Firefox also has source maps which are named slightly different but you can see the below link for information about enabling them.

As for the server you can use it in any browser on any operating system.

1,166 Pointsthanks a lot for the quick response. But only way to specify that chrome come up is to have it as default browser, right? Otherwise localhost: opens in my default browser (Safari) and I need to paste the URL into Chrome if I want to use that

http://localhost:8000
