Pros

Works well with the official JetBrains Toolbox app and IDEs downloaded via it.
Useful especially when working within the JetBrains ecosystem.
Supports integration with GitLab, including some self-hosted company instances.
Enables opening projects directly from GitHub and Bitbucket repositories.
Provides some configuration import capability for IDEs.

Cons

The extension auto-selects IDEs based on project language, suggesting IDEs not installed by the user without option to customize which installed IDEs to use.
Lacks support for private or custom GitLab instances in some cases.
Compatibility issues with updated UI layouts on GitHub and Bitbucket causing toolbar buttons or features to disappear or duplicate.
Does not always work properly on Linux and Windows systems, sometimes failing to launch or clone projects.
Missing requested features like SSH clone option, Android Studio support, and integration with additional code hosts like Gitee.

It can’t be used as it is right now. The extension automatically detects the language used in the GitLab project and then suggests an IDE. For example, with my Terraform project, it only suggests IntelliJ IDEA. However, I don’t have IntelliJ IDEA—just WebStorm and PhpStorm. I’d like the extension to only suggest IDEs that I actually have installed. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to let users select which IDEs they have. In my case, I want to be able to checkout projects using WebStorm or PhpStorm, regardless of the project’s language.

Все работает. Надо просто установить toolbox app и скачать IDE через него (ну или просто почитать чертово описание плагина, где это и так написано). P.S. Импорт конфигураций тоже есть.

I saddens me a lot that it is (still) not possible to configure company gitlab instances.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

JetBrains Toolbox Extension requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
