Make GitHub Great Again nga joshmoody24

This chrome extension detects when you're switching between the Conversations / Commits / Checks / Files changed pages on a GitHub PR, and reloads the browser tab instead of waiting for GitHub's cursed SPA to render the new page.

The fact that this improves loading times is bizarre, because GitHub is a single page app (SPA). Presumably, the only reason people make SPAs is because they can switch between pages faster. This is very cursed.

See this article by Matyáš Racek for more info about GitHub's awful UI loading speed:

Feb 2026 NEW FEATURE:
Make the GitHub Actions header sticky, so when it auto-scrolls to the bottom you can still easily go back to the PR page or re-run jobs!
