I used VSCodium before and found it to be a massive waste of time for no benefit. A significant number of extensions either aren't in OpenVSIX (or whatever it's called), or don't work for some reason. Just disable telemetry in VSCode and you're good.

Happy Ungoogled Chromium user though

Yeah, but to be honest on my current project the only extension that I needed, but wasn't available was the Typescript 8 support (the typescript with golang-based language-server) which should land eventually in the built-in typescript support.

not to tell you that it's better or worse but you might like helium if you are using ungoogled chromium

What's the difference? As far as I can tell, Helium is just rebranded Ungoogled Chromium with pre-installed extensions or something.
