Enabling VS Code Marketplace in VSCodium and Trae

Microsoft claims Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is open source, yet it restricts the use of its Marketplace extensions in non-Microsoft products like VSCodium (telemetry/tracking free open source fork), Cursor, Windsurf, Trae, and other VS Code-based IDEs, enforcing what some see as monopolistic control. This guide provides a workaround to enable the VS Code Marketplace in VSCodium and Trae (more to be added soon), allowing you to freely use extensions. Note that using the VS Code Marketplace with non-Microsoft products may violate its terms of use, which state that extensions are intended for use only with Microsoft Visual Studio products. Proceed at your discretion after reviewing the terms.

Enabling VS Code Marketplace in VSCodium

To configure VSCodium to use the VS Code Marketplace instead of the default OpenVSX Registry, you can either set environment variables or create a custom product.json file.

The speedtest-cli command is a tool for testing the external network speed of a server under the command line. It uses the Ookla (speedtest.net) infrastructure to test the download and upload speeds of the server's internet connection.

This list has been created to supplement the above documentation article since ther are way too many servers to include in a traditional page.
