📝 Important Note
About Measurements: VS Code does not directly expose memory usage per extension through its API. This extension uses an estimation based on observable factors such as:
Extension activation state
Number and type of contributions (commands, views, languages, etc.)
Complexity of package.json
The displayed values are estimates for relative comparison purposes between extensions, not exact memory measurements.
