Is there a problem with github trying to use the Addons Manager it just sits on “Loading”

Trying

Discourse cannot load the `raw.githubusercontent.com`

Gramps actually looks for:  
[`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramps-project/addons/master/gramps60/listings/addons-en.json`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramps-project/addons/master/gramps60/listings/addons-en.json)

or for Romanian:  
[`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramps-project/addons/master/gramps60/listings/addons-ro.json`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramps-project/addons/master/gramps60/listings/addons-ro.json)

And that opens just fine on my system. Can you open it on yours?

Whilst clicking on the link you provided takes you to the correct page  
on github, installing that link in the [Addon Manager](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_Glossary#addon) does not work  
because the old link is no 1 in the list and cannot be deleted.  
Tried old link and leaving a long time eventually loading completed, it  
is usually instantaneous

My screen looks nothing like yours, the url is the same but just takes far longer than normal to load. My screenshot below

That is my _ **experimental URL validation** _ for the Project Editor in the Addon&nbsp;Manager. Just showing its diagnostics because they have helped me confirm what’s going on. The progress in current manager is utterly invisible.
