Well, the scale of advantage depends on how much do you value your privacy :)
In other aspects VSCodium and VSCode are pretty much the same (except a couple of niche features). And neither of them is an IDE (not to be confused with M$ Visual Studio, which is a paid IDE with all compilers, debuggers etc. included).

Edit: didn't know Codeberg can host static sites, definitely migrating mine there from Guthib!

Building dystopias is a trend nowadays. The only difference is that some do it openly, while others trying to brand it as security benefits.
