Release Notifier for Github is a Chrome add-on developed by CRIMX. This unofficial "polyfill" allows users to watch Github releases and receive notifications through their browser. The add-on checks for new releases every 15 minutes and notifies users via browser notifications.

One of the standout features of Release Notifier for Github is its speed and lightweight design. The add-on is only loaded and run when needed, ensuring it doesn't slow down your browser. It utilizes the Github API and takes advantage of 403 cache for efficient performance. Additionally, users have the option to switch to atom feeds for unsupported repositories.

If you're an active Github user and want to stay up-to-date with the latest releases, Release Notifier for Github is a useful tool to have. It provides a convenient way to receive notifications directly in your browser without the need to constantly check Github.
