Hey, I did this too last time GitHub did this to us! https://github.com/Gerrit0/old-github-feed - one thing your implementation misses is that it breaks if the user tries to hit the "next page" button at the bottom of the feed

[Sec-ant]

Hey, I can't find a "next page" button but a "More" button, and I didn't notice any breaks when I hit the "More" button.

[Gerrit0]

Shoot, my bad! I saw that you didn't disable the mutation observer when the user clicked on it, which broke things initially for me, seems like a cleaner implementation if targeting include-fragment lets you avoid that

[Sec-ant]

Yeah it works out smoothly, guess that beginner's luck :)

[sweetbbak]

thanks! The new feed is horrendous. I just want to see when the people I follow create repo's and star repo's.

[falsandtru]

It is useless. This old feed will be deleted. The only effectual way is to revert the official feed.

[Sec-ant]

Yep, but I'm not competent to do that. In the meantime I'll keep this maintained until GitHub kills the old feed or starts to listen to the users.

[zzy-life]

Good job, at least I can use the old version now

doing the lord's work

[Norod]

Thank you very much for this!

[pouriap]

Thank you for this. I hope user feedback will be able to overcome corporate greed and we'll get the official old feed back, otherwise this will probably stop working soon.

[weearc]

Thank you, thank you for this. You saved us a lot of time. Thank you.

[weijiang1994]

Very nice!!! Thank you. 😄

W. I thought extensions like this didn't exist for Safari. W man, looking out for everyone.

[SamJakob]

Ironically my Safari extension for this was the only one I've managed to fully release so far lol

[tborychowski]

this doesn't seem to work for me (or they disabled the old feed?)
I can still see the new BS, just the filter buttons are hidden.
I suppose now, the best thing to do, is to open filters, uncheck all and save... ;-)
