It looked at first like this thread was complaining that GitHub doesn't work in something called Qutebrowser. So I downloaded Qutebrowser to try it out, and GitHub seems to work just fine.

We care quite a lot about web standards and broad browser support at GitHub, so if anyone is able to tell what the issue is, please let me know: [e-mail]. Thank you!

Following "web standards and broad browser support" and supporting recent versions of the four highest-budget browsers (three engines) seem different. There are at least a hundred browsers out there; keeping websites simple and standards compliant is a much easier route than testing on hundreds of different configurations.

On a semi-related note, to clear up any confusion: Qutebrowser uses QtWebEngine, which (like MS Edge) is Chromium-based.
