I know I know. But I'm only asking because I've found myself unwillingly looking at it, cursing is existence and then forcing my browser to show me "the real damn GitHub project". I need the app for work 2FA hence I haven't ditched it. But every time I click a link (eg on HN) for a git project, what I'm interested in is the code with the last update date on the right. Instantly see how "dead" a project is. What happens when I have the GitHub app installed? It hijacks the URL and shows me stupid crap I don't care about. And if I click on "code" it shows me the kind of low-info list of files and folders I'd expect to see on my grandmother's windows explorer. Aaaaaaaaaa

Yeah I basically use it only for 2fa. Used to use FastHub, not sure if that's still going, but I liked it more. But at the end of the day, for, eg, review, web lets me see more, so unless that change is minor (and mostly new files), web is easier.

You don't need the GitHub app for MFA. You can use any TOTP app - or a hardware token. Or both.
