GitHub Force Feed

A lightweight browser extension that automatically redirects you from the GitHub homepage to your personalized feed.

What It Does

When you visit github.com, this extension automatically redirects you to github.com/feed - your personalized GitHub activity feed.

Why?

GitHub recently changed their UI, moving the feed to a separate page. This extension brings back the convenience of landing directly on your feed when visiting GitHub.
