Understanding the Arduino Web Editor
Arduino has also launched a web-based editor that is independent of Arduino IoT Cloud and the desktop IDE. It works with any board compatible with the Arduino IDE without needing to install boards via the board manager. The Web Editor is compatible with a majority of web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. To work with the Web Editor, your machine should have the Arduino Create Agent, which acts as a bridge between the device and the Web Editor. All code is stored on the cloud, so there is no risk of losing code or any need to make backups.
