127.0.0.1:8080 refers to the remote, so these are extensions installed on the server itself where code-server is running. These will run on the server in a separate Node process. Most extensions run here.

Browser refers to so-called "web" extensions. These run directly in the browser in a web worker. These are pretty rare in my experience, but the Vim extension is an example of a web extension.
