Start WebContainer, and use Jsh and Preview URL.
This extension dynamically generates an external tab with Cross Origin isolation enabled using Nodebox(the Server
tab in the figure below). Therefore, the ?vscode-coi=on
parameter is not required in VS Code for the Web.
⚠️ VS Code InsidersVS Code insides for the Web has Cross Origin isolation turned on by default.

The only difficulty with this approach is that
SharedArrayBuffer
andAtomics
require the site to be cross-origin isolated, which, because CORS is very viral, can be an endeavor by itself. This is why it is currently only enabled by default on the Insiders version insiders.vscode.dev and must be enabled using the query parameter?vscode-coi=on
on vscode.dev.If you use Start WebContainer, you have to set
?vscode-coi=off
.
