"bloated, buggy Javascript framework"

Companies with heaps of cash are (over)paying "software engineers" to create and maintain it

Millions of people, unable to disable it, are "active users"

When I use Github servers I only use them to download source code, as zipballs or tarballs. I don't run any JS

The local forward proxy skips the redirects when downloading

   http-request set-path %[path,regsub(/blob/,/raw/,g)] if { hdr(host) github.com }
   http-request set-path %[path,regsub(/releases/tag/,/releases/expanded_assets/,g)] if { hdr(host) github.com }

Works for me
