That's like saying news.ycombinator.com is based on Chromium. VSCode runs on chromium, like any website you visit when using a Chromium browser.

  To the downvoter: VSCode -> Electron (essentially purpose specific web browser) -> Chromium news.ycombinator.com -> General Purpose Web Browser -> Chromium

    Ever heard of Firefox or Safari? I can open HN in any browser I want, but I can't change the browser used by the VSCode desktop app.

      That's due to Electron, not Chromium. Which is exactly why VSCode has a near parity version that runs on the web, under any browser engine. Saying VSCode is based on Chromium doesn't make any sense.

    That's quite the unsmart comparison.
