User reviews
It works perfectly, but you must:
Enable (deprecated) synchronous mutation events
Mutation Events are a deprecated set of events which cause performance issues. Disabling this feature turns off Mutation Events. NOTE: Disabling these events can cause breakage on some sites that are still reliant on these deprecated features. – Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, Lacros
#mutation-events
Go to chrome://flags
search for Mutation.
And Enable it.
Click the tampermonkey editors extension icon in your browser (you may want to pin that).
No longer working. Launches a VSCode with nothing open, when you try to open the recent folder the result is: "No extension is there to communicate."
