1. Live Share

Live Share is one of my favorites on this list. It allows you to share your code actively with another’s persons vscode. So you can see each other’s code, whom you want to share it with, and debug it together.

It is offered by Microsoft and you can download it from here.

2. Live Server

It sounds the same as the live share extension but completely different from it. It’s a must for web developers just like me. It has helped me save countless hours and improve my efficiency.

It’s the one I, personally, use the most, and you can find it here.

3. Bookmark

Imagine you are writing 1000s of lines of code and you make a mistake or there’s a function not working correctly nested inside other functions. Bookmark allows you to bookmark your functions or classes and use it to quickly navigate through your file.
