I see this extension come up in every recommended extension blog post. This insanely popular extension has over 10.5 million downloads at the time of writing this article. Type in settings and select “ Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)”. You can open up the settings.json for your global Visual Studio Code Settings through the command palette (⇧⌘P). The settings can be controlled through the UI or through a JSON configuration, for the purposes of this article, we will use the JSON version since that is much simpler to copy over from here. You can enable/disable or control the behavior of these features through the settings menu. How to Edit Settingsīefore we go through the list of extensions it’s good to mention that many of these extensions exist natively in Visual Studio Code. What shocked me most is that there are still posts here on Medium, dev.to, Reddit and other platforms recommending these extensions despite some of them having a clear deprecation notice at the top of the download page. Since extensions can cause performance issues, increase your CPU usage, and can have conflicts with other extensions or native functionality it’s best to limit the extensions to only the ones you need. I found out that I had a bunch of extensions installed that are not or no longer needed. Recently I decided to take a critical look at my VS Code setup and look for improvements in my workflow and get rid of no longer used extensions.
