You can click each extension on the list to see more details before committing to a download.Each extension in the list will have a brief description, the download count (the number of times it has been downloaded), the publisher’s name, and a rating from zero to five stars.You can also use the search box on the top of the page to filter your results. VS Code automatically sorts Extensions by popularity. This will bring you to the “Extensions” list.Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+X” to open the “Extensions” screen. It’s located on the side of VS Code’s client. Click on the “Extensions” button in the Activity Bar.VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VS Code. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license
When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license. When we build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this.
According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer: Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.
