All features in the plugin are enabled by default, including new features, some of which are harmful.

I needed one feature - automatic sort by activity, not creation date. This extension seems to do that, and about 200 other things.

This open source extension greatly enhances the usability of the GitHub website. It is a must have for anyone who regularly uses GitHub. The quality of the project development, documentation, and maintenance is incredible. If you benefit from this extension, please consider sponsoring the maintainer fregante on GitHub.

Great extension! However, I feel that GitHub becomes consistently slower with it, especially when viewing large pull requests.

Vast amount of features, greatly improve productivity for people who spend big chunks of their day on github. Also, very large community, very frequent updates, and very fast bug fixes.

Thanks you for this tool, changes made are so good that they directly contribute to the good ergonomy of GitHub. Even some changes are not feels made by a extension to say how good they are.
