[REFACTORING] You removed the top BETA promo link (LIVE SERVER++). Ensure you also search the repo (README, CHANGELOG, docs, issue templates, website, repo description) for any other references to vscode-live-server-plus-plus and update/remove them consistently. If removing the link could break external bookmarks, consider adding a brief note or redirect explaining it's deprecated or pointing to an alternative.

<!-- Optional short note near the top of README, if you want to help users coming from the old beta link -->
> Note: The previous **LIVE SERVER++ (BETA)** extension is no longer maintained. Please use **Live Server** (this extension) for an actively maintained experience.

[NITPICK] Wording: "You can change the shortcut from keybinding" is slightly awkward. Consider replacing with a clearer phrasing such as: "You can change the shortcut in Keyboard Shortcuts / keybindings (Preferences → Open Keyboard Shortcuts)". Also prefer consistent platform naming (use "macOS" rather than "MAC").

Additional Suggestion
README.md, line:33 Command Palette line was fixed for spelling — consider adding the macOS equivalent (Cmd+Shift+P) and standardizing shortcut casing across the README (e.g., use "Ctrl" vs "ctrl", "Alt" vs "alt") for consistency and readability.
5. Open the Command Palette by pressing `F1`, `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows/Linux), or `Cmd+Shift+P` (macOS) and type `Live Server: Open With Live Server` to start a server or type `Live Server: Stop Live Server` to stop a server.

Changed clunky wording to be clearer for viewers.
