Description of the issue: We keep getting issues on the https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-edge-devtools/ repo from people realizing that the embedded browser doesn't support all web features. One of the most recent is the lack of drag&drop support: microsoft/vscode-edge-devtools#2030 but there are other instances of this:

We should document the fact that the embedded browser is based on a headless browser instance from which screen captures are being streamed and that, therefore, not all user interactions are implemented. Also, that visual performance issues might exist.
We should then tell users that, if these unsupported features are important to them, they should use an external browser window.
