Is there even a difference, asside from the telemetry?
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
until you open more than 4 tabs. then firefox wins
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.
