Useful but annoying Bug

Constantly prompts me to allow or disallow access on all sites I visit on safari. No way to turn it off without shutting the whole extension.

Response from developer

This is a Safari bug.

Tries to access unrelated websites

I do not find acceptable for this app to track other unrelated websites, I have the proof that it attempted to do so and safari warned me. I seen it with AliExpress.

not worth it, GH token implementation broken

Don’t waste your time. You’ll never get GitHub tokens to work, even with a personal account. Somehow, trying to use this with a GitHub Enterprise account use is even more frustrating. I do appreciate the effort, and found it useful in 2022. Not so much in 2025.

Essential for GitHub addicts

Really cleans up the GitHub website and adds much needed UX improvements.
