Hi @arunsathiya Big question the performance difference between running GitHub Codespaces in a browser versus using it with the VS Code extension depends on several factors. Here's a breakdown to help you decide: 1. Codespaces on Browser
2. Codespaces on VS Code Extension
Important If you're prioritizing quick access and minimal local setup, the browser option is convenient. For heavy development work and a smoother experience, the VS Code extension is generally more performant due to better resource management and integration with local workflows. Best regards, happy to help you in any way bro. |

Performance is effectively the same in both cases since the compute runs on the remote Codespace. However, using VS Code with the extension typically provides a smoother and more responsive experience due to the native app environment, better extension support, and reduced browser overhead. The browser version is convenient for quick edits, but for full development workflows, VS Code desktop is generally the better choice. |
