Thank you. We will security audit this extension today and take action if needed.

Didn't the author evade a ban? Isn't that enough reason to take this down?

They could at least somewhat automate checks for that sort of thing.

It's a new publisher https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/fanny

If you dig into the code on GitHub [1] , you can see it's the same author as the Material Theme. But I'm not sure how the marketplace folks are supposed to track that.

new main features:

0 external and harmful dependencies

closed source = no more toxic community and youtubers talking shit about things they don't know.

Looks like we're good now.
