The new header does create an unpleasant display to be honest. The colour is "too strong", but that is highly subjective and some people might like it.
As for me, I just installed your plugin, works great on chromium and makes the page instantly look better, thank you!
Don't rain on GitHub's parade, this was their big feature of Q1 2017
I feel like the only person that quite liked the new header... Hm. My choices in life apparently suck.
Anyone else been finding the new github header distracting? I sure have. Ever feel nostalgia for the way things were? I do everyday. Well now you can go back to github’s normal header with this simple plugin.
Why do (some) people reject all kinds of change?
This change has one important ramification that can cause confusion:
Github Enterprise has always had the black header bar.
If Github keeps the black header bar for both, it will be easier to accidentally be working in the wrong Github.

Now you said that, I wonder if it's a bug or a feature? :)
Sometimes the changes are bad
Oftentimes because the change holds no benefit to them and they were not consulted. This creates a default 'change wariness' posture.
New header fits to the whole design like there was some kind of mouring going on :/
Has anything else changed apart from the color?
Firefox user here. Is the code for this opensource by any chance? I will make a firefox extension :-)
Works fine as a webextension under firefox nightly
Sure is! Here's the repo: https://github.com/ryanfs/revert-github-header-chrome-extens...
Thanks!
For those who want to try on firefox:
1. clone the repo
2. about:debugging. Load temporary -> select any file in repo
BTW, did you not figure any other way other than setTimeout() ? There is a flicker because of that.

It flickers for longer than what the timeout is set to, which makes me think that it takes a split second for the extension to run. But no, I couldn't figure out a better way to get it to fire than wrapping it in a timeout :( An event listener for DOMContentLoaded didn't do the trick either.
You can install stylish and add your own CSS to fix that. You'll be able to fix other sites as a bonus

Very poor contrast between the text & header.
GitHub, go with any of these(give us an option at least)!
Black+Cyan
Blue+Orange
Cyan+Yellow
Grey Paper+ White
