Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the “new” file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read only mode is enough):
Basic git stuff like commits, branches, tags, etc
File browser
Code search
Issues
Pull requests
Conversations
Wiki
For file browsing and searching I know the github1s.

+1 for Forgejo. Runs butter smooth even on not so high-end machines. You can even mirror your GitHub repos.
Plus: It is not owned by a for-profit organization.
I already self host my git server, I’m looking for an alternative front-end to browse github (because a lot of open source stuff still lives on it).
