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.
