If you encounter issues using {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} in a browser that is not Chromium-based, try switching to a Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

For example, some key bindings will be different or missing, and some extensions may behave differently. For a summary, see: Known limitations and adaptions in the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} docs.

{% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Insiders is the most frequent release of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %}. It has all the latest features and bug fixes, but may also occasionally contain new issues that result in a broken build.

If you are using an Insiders build and notice broken behavior, we recommend switching to {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Stable and trying again.

Click {% octicon "gear" aria-label="Manage" %} in the bottom left of the editor and select Switch to Stable Version.... If the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} web client doesn't load, or {% octicon "gear" aria-label="Manage" %} isn't available, you can force switching to {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Stable by appending ?vscodeChannel=stable to your codespace URL and loading the codespace at that URL.

If the problem isn't fixed in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Stable, check for known issues and, if required, log a new issue with the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} experience, in the microsoft/vscode repository.
