Based on the link you gave, it says for VS Code Web:
Note: Do not use this setup for any serious development. The intent is to allow the community to contribute changes back to VS Code to improve the overall experience in the browser.
Whereas code-server is for serious development. It's similar to other web IDEs like StackBlitz, Codesandbox, Replit.
Really, the main thing between VS Code and code-server is being able to access your editor from a web browser. This means:
- you could host your code-server instance on a remote machine and access from anywhere
- you could access via an Android phone/tablet or an iPad
The possibilities are endless! Hope that helps :)

understood. Thank U very much.
I tried it yesterday and found that the extensions cannot be installed. Is this a bug ?

Hmm...something funky could be happening. Installing extensions works for me. Can you open a bug report?

It may be caused by the network...

Could be! We do have some docs around installing extensions manually and changing the marketplace as well. I hope those help!
