Adviverse for VS Code

Earn from your editor. Adviverse shows tasteful, disclosed ads across three surfaces and pays you for the fills:

• Status-bar one-liner — a single sponsored line in your status bar. Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium.
• GitHub Copilot verb takeover — replaces Copilot's "Thinking…/Working…" label with the sponsored line, via VS Code's chat.agent.thinking.phrases. (Copilot is the only AI agent whose verb is reachable — Cursor/Windsurf are closed forks and Cline/Continue render in a sandboxed webview, so they get the status-bar + panel ads instead.)
• Sidebar "Sponsored" panel — a richer banner in the Adviverse activity-bar view.

Every ad is auctioned, tracked, and billed through the same Adviverse engine as web/mobile/CTV/terminal fills.

Setup

1. Install the extension.
2. Grab your placement key from your Adviverse dashboard → your placement → IDE / VS Code tab.
3. Run “Adviverse: Set placement key” (Command Palette) and paste it — or set adviverse.tagKey in Settings.

That's it. Ads start serving and impressions are counted automatically.

Controls

Turning ads off (or disabling/uninstalling the extension) restores your original Copilot verbs — we back them up before the first write and put them back verbatim.

Privacy

The extension sends only your placement key and an anonymous, stable machine id (vscode.env.machineId) to serve.adviverse.com to request an ad. No source code, file contents, or keystrokes ever leave your machine.
