what is the default path of the downloaded chromium exec?

[hybras]

Downloaded extensions are availible under ~/.vscode (or ~/.vscode-oss if using vscodium).

It'll be something like

~/.vscode/.../jebs-md-extended.../node_modules/pupetter/..../Chrome

note to self: adding some more context for myself: to get computer to spit the extensions folder itself is. command palette: "Extensions: Open Extensions Folder" which for windows is similar to unix one: %USERPROFILE%/.vscode-oss/extensions

thereafter: seriously; don't use MS explorer. just use doublecmd to highlight by ~letter~ words & navigate to above mentioned directory (while considering the directory size)

jebbs.markdown-extended-1.1.3-universal\node_modules\puppeteer\.local-chromium\

it's a bit unfortunate for me that most all of the space required by these markdown extension is consumed by just these browsers....

• 870MiB out of 885MiB for md-extended
• 307 MiB out of 331MiB for md-pdf

i really wish there were some way that to have one common extension for puppeteer which all other extensions could refer to as a dependency; maybe even exposed system wide

• but i think i have read somewhere (prolly in this extension itself) that the pptr it fetches is tested for it or smth like...
• which i think would mean that different extensions may require different versions of pptr;
• which can result in multiple pptr being downloaded anyway

but i think it will still be worth giving it a try to guage for potential space and bandwidth saving; as there are 2-3 at least pdf or markdown rendering extensions which might be downloading their own pptr simultaneously
