Is there even a difference, asside from the telemetry?

[-] TechCodecPawx@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago

VSCodium has limited plugins, but most known ones were available.. Weird logo, some kind of a seaplant?? But I soon dig it..

VSCode has all the plugins, but with Microsoft's Telemetry as expected.. Cool logo..

Truth: I'm using VSCodium, the absence of Telemetry tends to improve it's overall performance.. I'm beginning to like the logo.. Plugins support has improved, all the plugins I used in VSCode, are now available.. All of it..

It's basically the same difference between Chrome and Chromium.

I love Foss software but chrome crushes browerbench.org speedometer test (on windows not Linux ) like its always 20 runs more than chromium or ungoogled chromium makes me wonder is chrome cheating or what's happening under the hood

This is the way. Check out betterfox user.js to make Firefox light speed

You can add the official microsoft marketplace in a json file and get all the addons :)

I bet their telemetry package being so ancient and having ancient parts to it is the reason it brings performance down for the whole application. It's just too old.

The plugins. Aside from that, it's the same source code
