Remix clone Hacker News

Ever since GitHub was bought by Microsoft things have got worse for me as an end user -- browser compatibility is worse and I run into bugs frequently when on not-chrome; their academic programme now requires an insanely invasive localisation check that instantly fails for me on Linux and their support couldn't advance the process as I hadn't submitted an application yet; and their tooling slowly pushes people away from FOSS and towards proprietary methods. I wish they'd figure out how to make it a hacker friendly place again.

out of curiosity what browser do you have in mind?

I use Firefox on Linux and I didn't have any issues annoying enough to stick in my memory.

		I use Firefox on Windows (on multiple machines), and when somebody has an image embedded in an issue or comment in Github, and I click it to see the original sized image it will not load, and simply shows a blank page instead. It's been like this for two years or so.

		Same here. (I think I've ever seen one minor bug: for any repo in the clone dropdown, the "SSH" tab was hidden for me a while ago. Unfortunately I don't remember if this was browser related.)

		Using Librewolf 131.0.3-1. Going to the GitHub homepage makes the tab freeze and I have to go to /login or a repository page directly.

		No op, but videos/gif (used a lot for demos) don't work , you have to refresh the page

Can you explain this one in a bit more detail?

		They said they are pushed away from Linux and non-Chrome
