I just got an ad in VS Code

1. vscodium

   1 565 27,691 9.6 Shell

   binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing

   

   A 1st party ad is still an ad, though in isolation I do I agree that it's quite mild all considered. With context however (this being Microsoft's doing, and all the AI/Adware/telemetry/darkpatterns they're cramming into everything), I share OP's derision for this development in a tool that has become a centerpiece for many developers workflows, dev environments, and ancillary (plugins) ecosystems.

   Thankfully, for now at least, VSCode is MIT Licensed [0], source available [1], and if built from source it does not include CoPilot, Telemetry or MS' other crapware or branding. VS Codium [2] compiles this source for you without the cruft and makes those binaries/installers available [3] if like.

   For those that like CoPilot, VSCodium even has a guide on how to add it to VSCodium/Source Built VSCode [4]
