Pedrithor (ID: 000000e77bbc2238) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/27/2023 Una extensión maravillosa que te permite ver solo los verificados antiguos y no ver ningún verificado de Twitter Blue.

Emily (ID: 0000004e16113fa5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/18/2023 A recent issue was that the options for the extension weren't showing up, so I contacted the developer on GitHub, and everything was back to normal. It's great that a developer is so quick to fix a bug. The extension is very good, nothing to complain about !
