Testing with the nightly flatpak (git) version, if you set your preferences's diff mode to "Split" instead of "Unif", you won't be able to select line-by-line change sets...
A performance testing surprise I did not have on my bingo card this month: #gitg being 3 times slower to reload a git repository compared to the initial load. It… it can't be! 
@delighted Well, yes.. that's the ShinyHunters/ScatteredSpider collaboration, but now they have the Salesloft Drift approach, which Google Threat Intelligence Group had tracked as UNC 6395. It looks like GITG just updated the scope of the attack today to any and all authentication tokens stored in or connected to the Drift platform

Can I get a @vala_lang FLOSS hacker interested in this fine newcomers-difficulty-level UX issue to solve in #gitg?
I tried starting to fix it myself a year ago and couldn't figure out how to get past my initial attempt to check the horizontal vs vertical orientation of the layout. I could try again (if I'm desperate enough), but would need a pair programming session with a #Vala enthusiast… or such an enthusiast could probably solve it by themselves in half an hour: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gitg/-/issues/424#note_2008428
A free 2x performance speedup has now landed in #gitg nightly for every time you click a branch (or any type of ref) in the sidebar

Thanks to @GeopJr for creating the fix, and to @albfan for reviewing & merging it!

Huh! Turns out #gitg has no problem fetching other people's anonymous HTTPS repositories, but it chokes on SSH git repositories backed by some SSH keys. Bug report, up for grabs: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gitg/-/issues/481

Another big performance improvement opportunity in #gitg, for those with extremely large changesets who want to commit "the whole file, without looking at the diff", or when viewing an existing commit with a ridiculously large diff, would be to not render large diffs by default, because we'd be hitting limits of what the current source/text view can do, I think?
This might be easy enough for a newcomer to implement!
