SourceGraph tries to fix it, and the experience of searching, jump-to-definition and generally getting to grips with a codebase is way better there IMO. They also have browser plugins with integration to GitHub. I recommend you to check it out.

Sourcegraph CEO here. Glad you like Sourcegraph! Regardless of what happens with GitHub and Microsoft, we agree that developers need great code search.

Do you have an on-prem version (to pair with GitHub Enterprise)?

Yep. Sourcegraph is self-hosted on your own network. Check out https://about.sourcegraph.com/ and run the Docker image to get started. Docs on the GitHub.com/GitHub Enterprise integration at https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/config/repositories#githu....

Sourcegraph is great, but I had to disable the browser plugin because it opens a new tab on every github search. So annoying.

Sourcegraph CEO here. There was always a toggle for that feature, but it was too hard to find. It is now off by default and you can enable it in the browser extension settings. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I hope we get another chance to give you an awesome code search experience.
