All you need to do to fix that is to go to the edge settings > privacy, search, and services > scroll down to reach option Enhance your security on the web, and just turn it off (note that you must completely turn it off, not setting it on Balanced or strict.)
or you can create exception:
after that refresh the github and see it working...
hope this saves you time.
As of now (2022.5), the above exceptions list no longer works. Disabling Enhanced Security feature is never an option for me.
Users should add the following sites to exceptions. Mind the [*.] wildcard, it's mandatory.
github.dev
[*.]vscode-webview.net
If you are using vscode.dev, you should add it either
vscode.dev
If you are using VSCode Web insider builds (click Switch to Insider Versions... on bottom-left ), add the following domain.
[*.]vscode-cdn.net
adding github.com is not necessary, the actual workers are not running from this domain.
Update:
Currently (07/2022) the following works for me:
github.dev
[*.]vscode-cdn.net
