Interestingly, the intro docs specifically recommend using Chromium for Codespaces:
> For the best experience with Codespaces, we recommend using a Chromium-based browser, like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Makes sense coming from Microsoft, but it'll be fun to see if/how that affects the ongoing Chromium/Safari battles (and Firefox, to a lesser degree) if Codespaces seriously takes off. "Our company development environment requires every developer to use Chromium" is going to be quite a shock.
- q-rews 5y agoThis is because it’s based around VS Code, which is an Electron app, which uses Chromium. In short they never tested it outside it because they never had to. Only now it’s become available as a “web app” with a URL.
- easton 5y agoThey’ve put a ton of work into making VSCode browser independent because of Codespaces. It now works in Mobile Safari pretty well, as well as Firefox.
