Features - Almost all of Twitter functionality is implemented - Both reverse chronological and algorithmical timelines support.

  • (2024-03-26) ezra: soo awesome i love itttt <333
  • (2024-01-02) esgalmir: Quite useless, layout is too small for modern screens, dark theme is ugly. IF it could return ONLY media tab to pre-Musk state...
  • (2023-11-15) wagrant: working thank you , I would really like to donate but I'm a student and I swear I don't have money. :D
  • (2023-11-13) purble place enjoyer: I've been using this extension for about a week or so, and I can already tell how much my Twitter experience has improved since I installed it. Not only does it now look better, but the performance has also become much more responsive. I truly hope the developer will continute the support of this extension.
  • (2023-11-10) ⃣: It's honestly a very good extension however it will make your Chrome constantly eat loads of cpu usage even at idle. Just open any Twitter page with the extension on and check Chrome's integrated task manager ( ⋮ -> More tools -> Task manager) to see for yourself. I've tested this one 2 PC's and I don't recommend to use this until it is addressed.
  • (2023-11-06) Lucas Orquiza da Costa: Gostei da extensão, mas não consigo tweetar na roda... Alguém sabe como resolver?
  • (2023-11-05) Nathalia Morínigo: Muy buena la extencion pero ya no me funciona la opción de circulo privado ;(
  • (2023-11-05) Meow: Loved it! However, twitter fixed the TWT circle thing, for anyone wondering. Hopefully theres a way you can bring it back! even with this, it works much better than without the extension. Definitely recommend to those looking to download!
  • (2023-11-05) mai: could there be a way to send gifs without having to upload it from my laptop like they originally did please? i would greatly appreciate it!
  • (2023-11-04) Mathew Abetnego: need someone to make gif profile pic available NOW
  • (2023-11-03) Diogo Ribeiro: É incrível (principalmente pq me permite usar a roda dnv), mas alguém pode me dizer como eu ativo o modo escuro? Não to conseguindo
  • (2023-10-29) David Allen: It looked promising, but I couldn't see a way to pin my favourite lists for 1-click access, which I make extensive use of. That dropped 1 star. The other two are because every time I disable it, and when I remove it, Chrome crashed. Running latest Chrome as of today. I guess this could be related to interactions with another extension. The toolbar icon looks a bit odd from normal viewing distance. I appreciate the idea and will return for another check in a few months.
  • (2023-10-26) doy2: customizable, loads way faster than normal twitter, also fixes the media player which never worked for me as well as lets you copy the video links, overall very good
  • (2023-10-23) Jeff: das ist gut
  • (2023-10-20) Alif Studio: Is Much better than X

  • (2023-10-04) Mental Out: Brilliant.
  • (2023-10-03) Sjsidis: I LOVE THIS
  • (2023-09-29) James the Dragon: This is mandatory because I can't stand Musk or X
  • (2023-09-28) 진현민 (H.J[HarryJin]): It's good that I don't need to See that Damn X. Cause When i See the X I always Stressed out. Now I feel satisfied with this Extension. Thank You.
  • (2023-09-27) Ship Clip: It's so over, Rate Limit-bros...
  • (2023-09-24) Diego: Not working and never worked.
  • (2023-09-21) Crash Override: CUIDADO!!! Percebi um alto uso da minha internet usando mais de 100megas e quando usei um programa para ver do porque notei que estava tocando escondido um video do site odysee!! CAREFUL!!! I noticed a high usage of my internet using more than 100 megas and when I used a program to see why I noticed that a video from the odysee website was playing hiddenly!!

Una autentica oda a la nostalgia. Totalmente recomendado. It is absolutely incredible, it is perfectly optimized for the current 2023 version, even better than the default Twitter interface, the appearance of this extension is something totally fascinating, something that I thought was unimaginable in the middle of 2023 is now a reality. A true ode to nostalgia. Totally recommended.
  • (2023-09-08) Paul Skyrider: Хорошо бы сделать возможность менять размер шрифта. Некоторые надписи имеют слишком большой шрифт.

  • (2023-08-24) miilkyorca: Works amazing, the layout is very accurate and honestly better than the current twitter design. Been using it since I found out and I've loved it so much!
  • (2023-08-23) e v: Amazing! Finally Twitter is good again, and it's all because of this incredible extension. The layout is just like it used to be before Twitter made it suck, and the dev even added a character counter again! It loads quickly too—sometimes even faster than regular Twitter.
  • (2023-08-23) Ad Chính: It's amazing how fast my twitter is now

  • (2023-08-21) Ashh: saved my life imo
  • (2023-08-20) Daniel Fredman: THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
  • (2023-08-19) Adam: I'm a og user of this extension and i do verify that this is not a logger. If you want to talk to support. join the discord!
  • (2023-08-18) Daniel Meyer: Reminds me of when Twitter wasn't run by tard. This extension has a lot of nice bells and whistles too, making it a great way to experience the site. The creator also seems to be active in improving this extension, so probs a lot of cool things coming up.
  • (2023-08-18) Brut: now that twitter has killed tweetdeck this is the only way i can tolerate using the site

  • (2023-11-14, v:1.8.1.4) Beatriz Lins: extensão não carrega
    quando adiciono a extensão ao chrome o site do twitter simplesmente não carrega mais. alguém mais com esse problema? como posso arrumar?
  • (2023-10-25, v:1.8.1.4) Michael Culver: Changing page layout
    I have a desktop monitor 16:9. 1) Can the navbar be relocated to the side using all vertical space for tweets? 2) When a tweet takes more vertical space than available on screen, the visible part is the bottom of the tweet? Can this be changed to show the top of the tweet visible by default? 3) Why not use J/K for next/previous tweet?
  • (2023-10-19, v:1.8.1.4) EbonTheLord: Text contrast blends in with dark mode (Brave)
    I switched to Brave to avoid Youtube's anti-adblock popup and when I started to use Old Twitter on said browser, I noticed the text contrast was too dark and it blends in with dark mode. I don't know how to change the color of the text so its readable without highlighting it.
  • (2023-10-15, v:1.8.1.4) x Hades Stamps: Eliminate Functionality Loss
    Apply the ?newtwitter=true tag automatically to all pages that don't work with the old layout, specifically communities and explore. While I don't care about these features all that much, I would still appreciate the ability to easily use them on the rare occasion that I want to do so.
  • (2023-09-17, v:1.8.0.3) Jack Archer: Replies tab not showing properly
    Ever since the latest update, the replies tab on people's profiles aren't showing up. Usually this error comes up: "The following features cannot be null: rweb_lists_timeline_redesign_enabled"
  • (2023-09-15, v:1.8.0) Colin Lugia: Profile View Issue
    Been unable to view my profile's tweets. Works for other profiles, but mine keeps giving "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ’legacy’)"
  • (2023-09-13, v:1.7.9.2) olive: broken
    colours go default on homepage, lots of "loading" on right hand side profile, SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input. Go to homepage. when i click on my profile, sometimes say's im not following anyone You're not following anyone so there's no tweets found! Change your timeline type to 'Algorithmical' in OldTwitter settings.
  • (2023-08-30, v:1.7.7.5) Theagames10: "Update timeline automatically on new tweets." Not working.
    The option that was experimental titled "Update timeline automatically on new tweets." will only show the option to load more on home timeline and will not actually load any tweets when ticked on, making the page essentially blank.
  • (2023-08-27, v:1.7.7.3) Kai Stephens: Rate Limit is back....
    I used this extension to stave off that atrocious Rate Limit for about 3 months...... but it's back now. Do you know what happened?
  • (2023-08-19, v:1.7.6) Matthew Thill: Twitter Notifications
    Push notifications aren't working, I've tried disabling it and reinstalling the extension but nothing is working, The only way I've been able to turn push notification is by disabling the extension but when I re-enable the extension the push notifications don't work. When the extension is active the option to turn on push notifications doesn’t show up no matter how many times I reload, but it’s there when the extension is disabled.
  • (2023-07-31, v:1.7.4.2) TV Frederiquense: the scroll bar to go down and see other tweets
    When you're in the feed... the scroll bar to go down and see other tweets... literally disappeared and you can't move it... it only moves when you're on your profile page or tweet replies... adjust that there other than that, the extension is fine!
  • (2023-07-30, v:1.7.3.4) megahentaiwolf: Quoted tweets
    I wish there's a way to view quoted tweets (i.e. see the tweets that quoted this tweet).
  • (2023-07-28, v:1.7.3.4) Yadi: Lists

  • (2023-07-28, v:1.7.3.4) Leo Fox: text is in different sizes !!!
    the text for different tweets is in different sizes, the less text there is, the bigger the size of the text! is there a way to fix this?
  • (2023-07-26, v:1.7.3.4) Jack Archer: Video Playback issue
    Hey! Just found a bit of an issue with some videos since adding the extension. Some videos, particularly those on the shorter side (noticed this on stuff up to 30 seconds long), load incorrectly and only show 1 or 2 seconds before skipping to the end and refusing to load again. Outside of that, the extension is working great and it's been a godsend in these times of chaos!
  • (2023-07-14, v:1.7.3.4) T R: Still "rate limit exceeded"
    Hello, I still have the "rate limit exceeded" problem even with Old Twitter, I don't understand why it doesn't work for me. Please help!
  • (2023-07-07, v:1.7.2) FacialSpasm: Opening new tab w/o automatically switching to it immediately?
    Got a habit from the trash-tier Twitter layout. When I see a tweet look at later, I open it up in a new tab by middle-clicking the tweet box. When I use this extension, it makes me view that new tab immediately. Strangely it doesn't seem to happen when I middle-click the profile/profile name. Can you add a setting to let you choose to open new tweets but without switching to it immediately (kinda like how Firefox lets you choose to switch to new tabs)?
  • (2023-07-06, v:1.7.2) augustschild: TypeError
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for creating this...you are the hero we don't deserve! ;) I just started seeing a few "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ’subtext’)" in the body of people's messages on their profile. Is this a known issue? Have you experienced this one, or heard of it from anyone else?

  • (2023-07-04, v:1.7.2) Kingdom Velvet: remove metrics?
    hi, I really like what you did! it looks super good, loads fast, everything works! on the other hand, I've been using Twitter demitricator for a while, I got used to it and it's great for my mental health. unfortunately, like I expected, it doesn't work with your extension. I saw you added customisation options. do you think it could be possible to add one to remove metrics? like the likes, retweet and follower count? thank you <3
  • (2023-07-03, v:1.7.2) Massimiliano Christ: Retweeter's username doesn't show
    Great extension, but for some reason I'm not seeing the username of the person who retweeted a tweet on my TL. The tweet shows normally, but the space next to the retweet icon is just blank. Tried this on light/dark/black mode, not visible in all of them. I use chrome if it matters.
  • (2023-07-03, v:1.7.1) Varik Ares: can you get rid of this tweet looks like it might be automated

  • (2023-07-02, v:1.7.1) Yezen W: Twitter Reading Limit

  • (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) Andrian Andriuța (Ady): OldTwitter Other Layouts
    Hey Can you Add More Layout in the Settings like 2006-2014. (2013 was the best year of my life).
