Recommended Browser Extension

For developers who work with .vsix files for offline installations or distribution, the complementary One-Click VSIX extension is recommended, available for both Chrome and Firefox.

One-Click VSIX integrates a direct "Download Extension" button into each VSCode Marketplace page, ensuring the file is saved with the .vsix extension, even if the server provides a .zip archive. This simplifies the process of installing or sharing extensions offline by eliminating the need for manual file renaming.
