Lovely forks - Show Notable GitHub Project’s Forks

'Lovely forks' is a Chrome extension designed to uncover notable forks of GitHub projects, particularly where the original projects are abandoned and development has shifted to a fork. It updates repository information to highlight more recent versions, thereby preventing wasted efforts on outdated or buggy versions. The extension identifies and provides a link to the most notable fork, typically the one with the most stars, on every Github project page.

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 I've found so far all the "Lovely" forks it's been suggesting are *years* more outdated than the one I'm looking at.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.
