The issue has been closed
The default branch button normally only appears when you're not currently on the default branch, but github allows repositories to change the default branch, which causes the button to always appear.
Button appears, despite being on the (different) default branch
No button when on the default branch
Button when not on the default branch
We dont check every time you visit a repo if the default branch changed. Since changing a default branch is not a common thing, we check once every 10 days.
Either you can wait for the 10 days or you can clear the cache from the extension options.
@fregante I think we should add a detection if the branch is “main” and the default is “master” then re validate. Due to many people changing the master branch to main.
Oh, there is a check? Is that documented anywhere?
Clearing the cache did correct the issue, so not a bug I guess. Thanks

That means "always fetch unless you're on the default branch"
Changing default branch is not a common action so we shouldn't slow down the other hundred thousand "get default branch" requests for that.
What we could do is speed up this getter since it's one of the most common information we use.
For example, when you're on isRepoRoot, you're definitely on the default branch. This means:
If anyone wants to add the first part: https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/commit/1de71bb0a7b1b60d6dd123dd6699f346029399f8
Another detection can be when your on the branches page, the default branch is there.
@fregante wasn't this done?
