The HTML extension is auto-installed by default:

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/4ddf2cbb9f8a7ea49226a95bf4a35445ebc8ada3/assets/settings/default.json#L735-L741

To prevent it from being auto-installed you can add this to your settings:

{
  "auto_install_extensions": {
    "html": false
  }
}

Then you can uninstall the extension.

I, for one, think that no extension should be installed by default. Otherwise it is not an extension but a feature.

I confirm there has been no behavior change as of v0.177.10. And I also confirm what I have already said.

Is this issue possibly fixed? A fresh install of the latest version does not automatically install the HTML extension.

Zed 0.208.4 (flathub)

This is a documented feature and not a bug.

I also don't observe any behaviour change in 0.208.4, but I tested on macOS.
