Features & Capabilities

GitHub assumes every fork exists to contribute upstream. Its Contribute menu, Compare & pull request banner, and N commits ahead link therefore open comparisons against the upstream repository.

That is useful when you are contributing back. It is wrong when your fork has its own default branch and pull requests.

GitHub Fork Compare Fix changes this only in repositories you enable:

• Compare and pull request links stay inside your fork and use its default branch as the base. • The branch info bar and Contribute menu show commit counts against your fork's default branch. • The N commits behind link still points upstream, where it belongs. • An optional redirect catches upstream compare pages after you open them. • Enable one repository from the toolbar, or manage owner/repo and owner/* patterns in the options page.

Repositories you do not enable keep GitHub's usual behavior, so forks used for upstream contributions are unaffected.

Privacy

The extension has no telemetry and asks for no separate account or API token. It runs only on github.com. Requests go only to GitHub through your existing session. Your list of enabled repositories stays in browser extension storage.

Is GitHub Fork Compare Fix Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GitHub Fork Compare Fix requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

GitHub Fork Compare Fix is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
