neat, but instead of asking me to install browser extension, can you just bundle a browser in the MCP server?

WARNING for Cursor users:

Cursor is currently stuck using an outdated snapshot of the VSCode Marketplace, meaning several extensions within Cursor remain affected by high-severity CVEs that have already been patched upstream in VSCode. As a result, Cursor users unknowingly remain vulnerable to known security issues. This issue has been acknowledged but remains unresolved: https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/1602#issuecomment...

Given Cursor's rising popularity, users should be aware of this gap in security updates. Until the Cursor team resolves the marketplace sync issue, caution is advised when using certain extensions.

I've flagged it here, apologies for the repost: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43609572

I am surprised that the VSCode team hasn't gone after them for mirroring the marketplace, as the Visual Studio team made it very clear that they don't want anybody to do that -- it is their marketplace.

It seems that there is one sane PM left at VScode who knows that such move would only lead to MSFT losing more PR. And anti-trust scrutiny?

Why? This seems fine.
