VSCodium Insiders — Open, community-built code editor
VSCodium Insiders is a free, community-maintained code editor that serves as an alternative to Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code Insiders. It preserves the familiar interface and core capabilities developers expect while being released under open-source terms.
Privacy-first design
This build removes the telemetry and tracking present in some vendor distributions, giving users a cleaner, privacy-respecting experience. That makes it a strong option for developers who prefer no data collection by default.
Runs on major operating systems
VSCodium Insiders works across the most common desktop platforms — Windows, macOS, and Linux — so you can use the same editor regardless of your development machine.
Development tools and extensibility
The editor includes essential tooling for popular web languages such as JavaScript and TypeScript, with features that aid coding and debugging. It also supports a wide ecosystem of extensions, letting contributors and users tailor the workspace to their needs.
Key advantages:
- Highly extensible via a rich extensions ecosystem
- No built-in telemetry or user-tracking
- Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Native support for languages like JavaScript and TypeScript
Other note
The original source also mentioned "SHAREit (Free)" as a recommended alternative.
