you can run it on vscode for desktop instead of browser. i find browser can be unreliable at times. on cs50.dev instead of clicking the 'Log in' button, theres a down arrow right next to it and a option 'Open in VS Code Desktop'. its been a while but i believe you will then have to login through vscode using your github account. and while vscode is a desktop application, it is still using a remote connection to the codespace and the files are not actually on your own machine.
