It now checks before and after the server starts whether you have cancelled the preview, and stops if you have.\n\nIt also notes whether the browser has broken, and closes the browser on a time limit. If the preview was cancelled, that limit is shorter. Before, it closed the browser the same way every time.\n\n**Why**\n\nCancelling a preview should no longer leave a browser hanging or running in the background.\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
