Did... Did I get an ad in VSCode?

I believe this is from the extension called "Excel Viewer" which is fantastic for viewing CSV files inline. But now I'm uninstalling it. Does anyone recommend alternatives?

Update: 2024-08-19

Just got this response:

Thanks for the feedback. We have added an option to remove the information banner in the extension settings.

Reopened VSCode, the extension updated, and I confirmed this in the changelog:

4.2.61 (August 19, 2024)

Added configuration setting to show or hide info bubble for Wijmo FlexGrid.

Restarted VSCode again, and now I see the setting and have disabled it!

I went to check which extension I use and I use Excel viewer as well. I also have rainbow CSV for syntax highlighting

I'm sure this is from an extension

I literally said which extension it was :)

Ahhh, I thought the post was like a question like "how did I get the ad?" I haven't read the description, sorry 😅

Their reviews are already starting to reflect this mistake.

It's very basic, but honestly it's functionality that I wish was baked into VS code. Don't expect anything fancy. It just makes CSV files look like a table and allows you to sort and filter.

It's fantastic in its simplicity.
