Just like with flutter mobile create flutter launch configuration, but add the following line: "args": [ "-d", "chrome" ]

{
  // launch.json
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Flutter for web",
      "type": "dart",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "lib/main.dart",
      "args": [
        "-d",
        "chrome"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

It's weird, flutter run -d chrome works fine for me but with this launch config, chrome cannot reach the site :(

You can write on terminal:

flutter run -d chrome

How do you run the widget selector here then?
we can use widget selector from vscode itself ,I think its not a problem

@Spatz is correct but I also had right below his answer configuration

{
            "name": "new_app",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "dart"
        },
        {
            "name": "new_app (profile mode)",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "dart",
            "flutterMode": "profile"
        },

I had to delete these from launch.json for VSCode to launch the app in debug mode (able to step through) in Chrome.
Otherwise pushing F5 would start the debug mode but on my device.

It's pretty simple if you've installed chrome in your system.. for running in debug mode, run this command in terminal

flutter run -d chrome

For running in release mode

flutter run -d chrome --release
