  • thorium

    Chromium fork named after radioactive element No. 90. Windows and MacOS/Raspi/Android/Special builds are in different repositories, links are towards the top of the README.md.

    • Don't use Chrome. Try something, anything, else. The Thorium browser is fantastic, fast, and does basically everything Chrome does. If you're a Firefox person, consider trying Mercury, Waterfox, Pale Moon, or Basilisk. There is a whole world of rich browser forks that are specialized & often work better than their mainstream alternatives. Here, you can see they listened to us when large organizations didn't.

  • helix

    A post-modern modal text editor.

    • I decided to try helix out for an evening; that was two weeks ago and I haven’t opened emacs since.

  • linux

    Linux kernel source tree

    • I remember there was a bot that would automatically interject and one time I was on a thread talking about a part of https://github.com/torvalds/linux and it triggered. They most definitely were not referring to GNU/Linux.
