+      This is a [DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/)-based
+      JavaScript debugger. It debugs Node.js, Chrome, Edge, WebView2, VS Code
+      extensions, and more. It has been the default JavaScript debugger in
+      Visual Studio Code since 1.46, and is gradually rolling out in Visual
+      Studio proper.
