Clean, Customized Builds
It achieves its telemetry-free state through a unique build process. Microsoft’s default Visual Studio Code binaries contain various customizations in a configuration file named product.json. This configuration enables telemetry, a Microsoft-based marketplace, and other proprietary features. Its build scripts generate the same powerful editor but strip away these elements, creating a clean, MIT-licensed software version without embedded Microsoft-specific functionalities.
Accessing the Latest Features Without Complications
It is an ideal solution for users interested in maintaining privacy while still accessing the latest updates. Rather than building from the source themselves, users can download binaries directly from its GitHub releases, where the latest versions of this editor are regularly published. This removes the need for complex building processes, providing a straightforward method to stay updated with a hassle-free download option.
Compatibility With Extensions
This editor supports all the extensions available for VS Code, making it a flexible choice for developers. Users can access and install extensions through the Open VSX registry, an open-source alternative to Microsoft’s marketplace. These options ensure that developers retain access to a wide range of productivity tools and enhancements without sacrificing data privacy.
Community-Driven Development
An active open-source community drives the development and maintenance of this editor, ensuring the platform remains aligned with the needs of privacy-conscious developers. The community continually improves VSCodium, shares feedback, and collaborates to create an editor that maintains the features users love in VS Code but is free of proprietary restrictions.
