What a VS Code verified publisher badge means, compared with Open VSX →
Node.js debugging support
Daily readings on both stores, taken by us. As of 24 Sept 2026.
Each bar is one day’s change in the store’s own counter. Open VSX counts a download on every update, so a day includes updates by people who already had it.
Positions observed daily on both stores. Neither store publishes this, and the two run separate search engines over separate catalogues.
#14 on Marketplace for “debug”, #397 on Open VSX.
