I am fully moving from local electron based vscode to using vscode-server inside docker inside a vm. It has just so many advantages besides security eg. being able to have multiple workspaces in tabs instead of separate electron windows, and having all the docker/vm tooling available. This can replace remote vscode, devcontainers and electron in a nice package. There is just no reality in which vscode with electron running as user account on a bare machine can be secure not even thinking about agents in the mix. We are working on a custom browser called darc based on chromium IWAs and controlled frames instead of electron and optimised for this. (apache 2.0)


Interesting. Link to custom browser repo?


pre alpha, xenon is like a browser framework, darc the reference browser, the vscode dev browser is like a dev focused release. https://xe.dev/darc
