I personally prefer original variant.
If you don't want to fix it, maybe you have a CSS snippet to got it back?

Hello, I don't believe the question in this issue's title has been actually answered :
Why you hide count field for "Watch" and "Fork" buttons?
Here's the original issue: https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/issues/1601
With the article that triggered it: https://tonsky.me/blog/github-redesign/
And here's the full explanation from the original PR:
Popularity is already determined by stars.
[The number of] forks just tell you how many people potentially contributed in the past and others who just clicked it to “save a copy”.
[The number of] watchers also feels pretty useless compared to the actual contributions I see. Refined GitHub has 150+ watchers but only a handful of people actually follow the project and comment/contribute regularly. Even dead projects have plenty of watchers 🤷♂️
In the end, the feature was made disableable, so if you disagree you can disable it. ☮️
