# Start WebContainer
Start [WebContainer](https://webcontainers.io/), and use Jsh and Preview URL.
This extension dynamically generates an external tab with Cross Origin isolation enabled using [Nodebox](https://sandpack.codesandbox.io/docs/advanced-usage/nodebox)(the `Server` tab in the figure below). Therefore, the [`?vscode-coi=on`](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/137884) parameter is not required in VS Code for the Web.
> ⚠️ VS Code Insiders
>
> VS Code insides for the Web has Cross Origin isolation turned on by default.
>
> https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2023/06/05/vscode-wasm-wasi#_vs-codes-wasi-implementation
>
> > The only difficulty with this approach is that `SharedArrayBuffer` and `Atomics` require the site to be [cross-origin isolated](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/SharedArrayBuffer#security_requirements), which, because CORS is very viral, can be an endeavor by itself. This is why it is currently only enabled by default on the Insiders version [insiders.vscode.dev](https://insiders.vscode.dev/) and must be enabled using the query parameter `?vscode-coi=on` on [vscode.dev](https://vscode.dev/).
>
> If you use Start WebContainer, you have to set `?vscode-coi=off`.
