Trying to run/debug a CSS and HTML file with localhost on VSC but getting message "crbug/1173575, non-JS module files deprecated"

Question

I am trying to run/debug an HTML + CSS file via Localhost in Visual Studio Code, but all I get in Chrome is:

localhost refused to connect. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

and in VSC is says

crbug/1173575, non-JS module files deprecated.

I noticed that my HTML file was able to run, but when I tried debugging the CSS is when the problem started.

Here's my launch.json file:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "chrome",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Chrome against localhost",
            "url": "http://localhost:8080",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
        }
    ]
}

I DID LOOK AT THIS ARTICLE AND ALL THE ARTICLES THAT ARE PART OF IT. Unfortunately, none of them worked.

When I tried running this in Replit with it's webview feature it worked perfectly fine.
