According to API, var browserSync = require('browser-sync'); is changed to var browserSync = require('browser-sync').create(); in 2.0.
For those who cannot run google chrome in windows:
Internally, browser-sync uses opn library. So, the name of browser is different from OS to OS. As for windows, it's not google chrome, it's just chrome. Other browsers:
Internet Explorer: iexplore
Firefox: firefox
Microsoft Edge: path.join(__dirname, ".bin", "edge.exe")
As Microsoft Edge doesn't have the way to call it by cmd start "some command for edge", so we need special command line program. I've downloaded it to projectRoot/.bin and changed its name to "edge.exe". So, the name of edge is really odd. However, when every setup is done, everything works nicely.
