Old Twitter Layout (2024) Extension

Extension to return old Twitter layout from 2015 (or 2018). WORKS IN 2024!
This extension doesn't add any CSS on top of original Twitter. It's fully different client that replaces original new Twitter client, making it faster than alternatives that just add style on top of Twitter. This extension requires you to be logged in to Twitter account.

Please visit https://twitter.com/old/settings after installing to make it work just as you like. It switches to chronological timeline by default, you can switch back to algorithmical timeline in settings.

You can visit unchanged Twitter by visiting https://twitter.com?newtwitter=true.

The code is open source! Check https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter to see the code and report any issues.

Features
- Almost all of Twitter functionality is implemented
- Both reverse chronological and algorithmical timelines support. And exclusive: Reverse chronological timeline with friends likes and follows (basically mix of both chrono and algo timelines)
- Custom profile link colors supported
- You can change custom profile link color and it'll appear for other extension users (priority: oldtwitter color db -> twitter color db -> default color)
- Removes all analytics and tracking from Twitter
- Track your unfollowers for free
- Search, sort and filter your followers
- Removes all ads
- Easy download of videos and GIFs
- Translate tweets without having to open them, also ability to set specific users/languages to autotranslate
- Shows why tweets were added to algorthimical timeline
- Dark mode support
- Ability to enable/disable Twemoji, disable stars (favorites) back to likes (hearts), change font, default link color and any other color in extension
- Lot of hotkeys
- Mobile support
- Custom CSS support

Josh D. (DigisMonkeyKing) (ID: 0000005db6cc2734) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/21/2024 The extension is amazing, it's way more customizable! I would give 5 stars but the videos only play for 1 second. the rest is pretty great. one other thing that would be nice, if I could "X" out the "Trends" sidebar. Thanks! :) May 21, 2024 Edit: tried out this extension again recently, the videos are much better, have another star. Although they're able to continue playing even after interacting, and can be played again in the comment section window in unison. Also the polls display correctly, but can't be interacted with unless in new Twitter. BTW the previous suggestion still stands :)

esgalmir (ID: 0000006ad4a97bc0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/02/2024 Quite useless, layout is too small for modern screens, dark theme is ugly. IF it could return ONLY media tab to pre-Musk state...
