> In addition, it is best to use code navigation simply in a web browser

How do you define "code navigation"? It might've got a bit easier with automatic highlighting of selected symbols, but in return source code viewer got way too laggy and, for a couple of years now, it has this weird bug with misplaced cursors if code is scrolled horizontally. I actually find myself using the "raw" button more and more often, or cloning repo even for some quick ad-hoc lookups.

Edit: not to mention the blame view that actively fights with browser's built in search functionality.





Hint: Type the '.' key on any code page or PR.

And now it opens... some VSCode-esque editor in the browser that asks me to sign-in? Why would I want something even more resource-hungry and convoluted just to look up a random thing once in a while?

If you're familiar with VSCode it's quite handy. If you hate VSCode for some reason then just don't use it.
