I'm not sure what the use of the standalone site is, however Microsoft has already integrated VSCode-in-a-browser into Github. If you go to a Github file and press . then that repository will open up in a VSCode instance in browser. It's quite useful to have it's search features rather than needing to clone down a project first.

This VSCode.dev standalone site adds Azure Repos support in addition to Github.dev's existing GitHub support, and they say it will be extendable by extensions so maybe hope for Gitlab/Bitbucket/Gitea/Sourcehut/who knows who else to add this sort of remote dev experience that the Github dot shortcut does.

Also, there's a new "Theme Preview Playground" which lets you write URLs to try theme extensions before you download them.
