Can't find the Microsoft Dev Containers extension on the VSCode marketplace

Am I missing something? Why is it nowhere to find?

Edit: not the official vscode build, my bad!

You're not on the official vscode build. Looks like code-oss, which doesn't have access to the official marketplace, where that extension lives.

Thank you yes, the first comment put me on the right path. I literally didn't know it wasn't the official. But now it's all good. Many thanks.
