That $ is for string interpolation. if you got a build error with it in that means you've not got the most recent .Net version selected as string interpolation was added in C# 6

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/interpolated

(with string interpolation $"Navigating: {url}" is equivalent to "Navigating: " +url.toString() removing the $ changes the meaning to be the hardcoded and booring string: "Navigating: {url}"

Debug.WriteLine("Navigating: {url}");
webBrowser.Navigate(url);
