How to stop browser closing automatically when you stop debugging on VS 2017

I’m trying out the new VS 2017 RC and wondering if anyone knows how to get the previous debugging behavior back

In VS 2015 it went like this:

Press start debugging

  • Website opens in new Chrome tab
  • Press stop debugging
  • Website is still open and the site is still running/active

Now in 2017:

  • Press start debugging
  • Website opens in new window that can’t dock with any other Chrome windows/tabs
  • Press stop debugging
  • Website/Chrome window closes, can’t continue using the site unless I manually go to the localhost window in Chrome

Is it possible in 2017 to switch back to the 2015 style? So the Chrome/Website window can dock with other Chrome windows/tabs, and it stays open after you stop debugging?

Additionally, I find the new Chrome window frustrating to use, as it seems not to have any history/content available. E.g I can’t autocomplete forms or urls, which is very annoying when I’m trying to test a form
