However, VSCodium can’t shut out all the data collection as it is the same codebase. And since extensions act independently with regard to data collection, you still need to be mindful of what extensions you install.
- joecool1029 4y agoI mean that's the same deal with browser extensions. Good to mention, but hardly a surprise.
- tjoff 4y agoSure, but in my opionion at least browser extensions are minor niceties that isn't worth installing whereas vscode extensions are integral to the use of vscode. Vscode as an IDE is quite useless without it's extensions. And that includes official(?) extensions from Microsoft that also might have other policies regarding tracking.
