What’s new in version 3.7.1?

                An extension to help you notice notable forks of GitHub projects.

Sometimes on GitHub, projects are abandoned by the original authors and the development continues on a fork. However, the original repository is often not updated to let new-comers see that. I have many times wasted effort on making a pull-request or installing old buggy versions of projects when the community had already moved to a fork.

To make matters worse, the old projects usually have higher search-engine traffic and a lot more stars than the forks. This makes the forks even harder to find. This extension tries to remedy that by adding a subscript under the name of the repository on the Github page of all projects with a link to the most notable fork (i.e. the fork with the most stars), if such a fork exists.

Hit or miss, mostly miss. I've found so far all the "Lovely" forks it's been suggesting are *years* more outdated than the one I'm looking at. I get that the extension can't magically create a maintained fork but if a fork was last updated in 2011 and the project I'm looking at was last committed early 2016 I'm probably not interested in the former.
