Caleb S (ID: 0000009d35463154) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/05/2020 1. "This browser is no longer supported" every time I open Twitter after installing this 2. Doesn't solve the problem I wanted to fix: where twitter feed jumps around randomly as I scroll down.

Adam Rouse (ID: 000000af7912ba19) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/31/2019 Great, great extension BUT I noticed last night (while on my desktop) that I'm not seeing a "1" on top of "Messages" anymore when I have a new direct message. I have GoodTwitter Beta on my laptop at home and GoodTwitter on my work desktop and I'm not seeing the # indicator on messages when I have a new one with either extension. I've signed out and back in. I've removed the extension and added it back and I've tried different browsers. To make sure it wasn't an issue with my Twitter account, I tried regular Twitter without the extension and the number does appear there, so this issue is with the extension.
