- Supported file formats vary by tool and change over time. Extensions, connectors, and plugins may also affect what a tool can accept.
- Some tools enable live web search by default; others require the user to turn the option on.
- Available for Chromium-based browsers only, such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.
- Assessed on Visual Studio availability; support in other IDEs may vary. Where available, we recommend using the extension published by the tool's own vendor.
