Re:The first chosen-prefix collision for SHA-1

For anything requiring fast hashing performance today, is there a reason why Blake2 [1] wouldn't be chosen? It seems to be faster than SHA1 and uses a similar algorithm as SHA3. As collisions become easier to create I would think it'd cause a problem in many even insecure use cases. I'm pretty sure github had to blacklist those two pdfs that originally had the same hash.
