[Assist] VSCode - Package Request

[0d0acre]

Hi Freemor!

Yes the main problem is Chromium, i would like to analyze the code but i
don't know if i have the necessary c++ knowledge and time to do this...
Sadly more and more software are built on electron so i think that
liberating chromium will be not necessary but at least comfortable for
some people.

Thanks for linking the thread, i had not found it.

I know it sucks when you can not use the editor that you are used to. But
perhaps this would be an opportunity to re-evaluate if a browser that is based
on a webapp engine (Browser/JS Engine) from Google is really the best choice. 

Used different editors until now and recently felt good with vscodium,
having a lot of integrations, trying to stop this constant google
dependency.

Thank you a lot,
