chrome : chromium :: vscode : vscodium
That's a good pun. Clearly the authors have mastered the second hardest problem in computer science.
It's a bad comparison. Non-Google Chrome browsers (like Chromium) can still connect to Google's extension store to download browser extensions (like uBlock Origin). Only VS Code can connect to the VS Code Marketplace. Codium cannot. It's bullshit.
Damn, that seems to be flagrantly anti-competitive. Has Microsoft attempted to justify why they do that?
I don't know but this is what Eclipse has said about Open VSX.
