TwitterBird Extension

This add-on reverts all logos of the Twitter/X website back to the Twitter bird.

It changes every single X logo, including the icon in the browser tab, the logout screen, and the boot screen. Additionally, it modifies the avatar, banner, name, handle and badge of the official Twitter accounts.

Please be aware that Twitter is currently changing its website every day.
I'm trying to keep the add-on up to date with the latest changes Elon Musk is making to Twitter/X.
