Description from store
Extension to return old Twitter layout from 2015. WORKS IN 2023.
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 mobile.twitter.com.
The code is open source! Check https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter to see the code and report any issues.
Features
- Basically almost all of Twitter functionality is implemented
- Super fast, most pages load even faster than original Twitter
- Custom profile link colors supported
- You can change profile link color and it'll appear for other extension users (priority: oldtwitter color db -> twitter color db -> default color)
- Ability to enable/disable Twemoji, disable stars (favorites) back to likes (hearts), change default link color and font
- Translate tweets without having to open them
- Dark mode support (also changing between light/dark mode depending on time of day)
- History for tweets you clicked on
- Setting to autotranslate specific users tweets
- Removes all ads
- Easy download of videos and GIFs
- Lot of hotkeys
- Custom CSS support

- (2023-02-01) Lando Calrissian: Was just what I needed
- (2023-01-20) mil: This is the best extensions I've ever wanted !!!! XD However, the function of Show custom link colors of users in home timeline does not work... I set it to red, but it's still blue... (I am Korean and I used a translator T-T)

- (2023-01-07) Camdogg07: The extension works great, but there's one small issue... When I click my profile, the colour does not change, even though I have chosen a different colour in the palette settings.
- (2023-01-03) Ravage657 Official (Ravage657): Amazing! I much prefer this layout. Thank you!
- (2022-12-25) David: youre so real for this
- (2022-12-11) YouTube Helper: Actually its bad, Twitter crash and lagging web and my laptop
- (2022-11-22) Tenzubushi: Works really smooth, looks fantastic, and indeed brings the old twitter's workflow and appearance back, but with some useful features in the settings menu, this guy remade twitter from scratch!
- (2022-11-22) Sparkschu Itai: I finally found that is working!!!! I tried different extensions (for old Twitter UI of course), but it didn't work. Thank you very much!!!!
- (2022-11-05) Henry Anderson: Perfect app!
- (2022-10-26) SpaceWalker: this is great, just wish that there was an option to use the 2018 twitter layout instead
- (2022-10-26) sensei sayaka: only one I found that actually works and does a gr8 job of doing so.
- (2022-10-26) P.M.: This one is amazing, hope it will work forever!
- (2022-10-18) Coffee Mc'Coffee: It's accurate to old twitter
- (2022-10-02) Lego Savant: way better than most old twitter userscripts and extensions, especially since its based off of the much better 2015 twitter instead of the 2018 twitter everyone else goes after and that its actually faster than real twitter since it replaces it, this is the first one ive seen that did that for twitter but ive still got some complaints: - tweets dont always expand when first clicking them, have to click either at the top or right below the profile picture (basically anywhere not inside the main text box) - uses default html player, i imagine you use firefox where it isnt a problem but on chrome it takes up half of the screen - the existence of the splash screen when first opening a page
- (2022-08-27) Augusto: A extensão é muito boa e funciona, mas alguns ajustes poderiam ser feitos, como o tamanho dos textos por exemplo. (https://prnt.sc/9Y1a0YUoF4mG) A logo do Twitter está um pouco sem qualidade aqui também. (https://prnt.sc/f7az8_yAFqKI) Tirando isso, esta extensão é MUITO BOA!
- (2022-07-31) Ky Detrick: only one I found that works perfectly. Thank you!

I had just recently installed this so I have no idea how it works, but if I can get a solution that'd be greatly appreciated! - (2023-02-14, v:1.6.6.2) Harry Fereday: Option to remove the Trending Tab
I love your extension. I have one suggestion though which is from an old extension i used to use. The option to remove the trending tab. Twitter these days is mostly depressing and i only like using it to see what the people i follow are up to. When the trending tab is gone it makes it so i never see any of those political, fear mongering trends that just end up making you feel bad - (2022-12-09, v:1.6.5.5) Ady Plesca: OldTwitter Other Layouts
Hey Can you Add More Layout in the Settings like 2006-2014. (2013 was the best year of my life).
