Multiple installation options to suit your workflow
The official Visual Studio Code Marketplace has restrictive policies that prevent innovative open-source tools like Advanced Live Server from being published. We've created a better solution.
Marketplace heavily favors proprietary extensions with restrictive licensing
Lengthy, opaque review process that can take months with no clear feedback
Prioritizes extensions with paid tiers over open-source community projects
Some powerful features get flagged as "too advanced" or "potentially harmful"
This npm installer bypasses marketplace limitations by installing the extension directly into VS Code - no restrictions, no delays, no compromises.
