Eric M (ID: 000000fc3891cf56) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/12/2023 I love it, can you have it remove the Premium thing in left hand nav and the blue check marks as well?

Antonio Abeyta (ID: 000000fb29c99dfb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2023 Its a great extension, however I have a couple suggestions, if a user us hovering over the retweets button, a button says "repost" can that be updated to "retweet" again? And as of today, the home button has been replaced from once was a birdhouse icon, to a regular looking home button, can that be restored as well? Here is a link that shows that the old and new look like. https://imgur.com/a/DRoO9gn Thanks so much and i look forward to having my old twitter UI back!
