To configure which browser to open links, Visual Studio Code 1.92 provides a new setting, workbench.externalBrowser. Developers can configure this setting on a per-workspace level. The setting also is Settings Sync-enabled. The setting should specify the full path to the browser. Or, to ensure correct functioning across devices, browser aliases can be used, such as edge, chrome, or firefox.
Visual Studio Code 1.92 also brings improvements to the extension update experience that provide more control over updating extensions and makes it easier to manage auto-updating. The global extension auto-update action in the Extension view title area has been changed to “Enable Auto Update for All Extensions” and “Disable Auto Update for All Extensions” actions. These actions enable developers to enable auto update for all extensions simultaneously. For individual extension auto updates, the experience has been improved by showing the action to enable or disable auto update for the extension, Microsoft said. Also, user consent now is required when updating an installed extension version that has no executable code to a version that has executable code.
