Link to browser in Visual Studio 2015 - doesn't work / doesn't turn off?

Question

So, from what I can say, Browserlink has been rescheduled for 2015 from 2013. However, there seem to be two problems with which I cannot find a solution.

Firstly, it looks like my browser cannot establish a connection. At first, I noticed errors in my firebug project, shown below. Then I double-checked and the “quick update” that you should receive through SignalR definitely does not happen.

Secondly, I really can not find where the option to turn off the browser is located. If I can make it work, I would not try it. However, if this does not work, I would rather just turn it off and not worry about it yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Note. I am using Visual Studio 2015 Professional

I have an even stranger problem. For a view that makes a very large amount of data in the browser, it raised a StackOverflowException in System.Runtime.Serialization.dll. I managed to disable it by adding the following to my web.config, as indicated here :

 <appSettings> <add key="vs:EnableBrowserLink" value="false"/> </appSettings> 

After adding this parameter, the browser was disabled for real time and there was no longer a StackOverflowException . Here are screenshots of how it looked before disabling the browser:

I know this is only half the answer, but it actually seems that the browser does not work well in some scenarios and needs some fixing ...
