This feature request has been sitting around since 2018: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/52116 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/52116 It advocates for treating VSCode extension permissioning like browser extension permissioning. Of course, it's not a panacea, but it would be lovely to have. I discovered it when I went searching for a way to disable network access for a particular extension. You can do it, sort of, for VSCode itself, but not for individual extensions.
