Old Twitter Layout (2025)
Extension Actions
- Extension status: Featured
Uusi laajennus joka tuo takaisin Twitterin vanhan ulkonäön.
Extension to return old Twitter layout from 2015 (or 2018). WORKS IN 2025.
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

- 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

- WHY IS THIS SO MUCH BETTER?????? 😭
- zhuang rain
- Because U are better than all dev in x.com
- Jeremy Oles
- This extension is a lifesaver. Brings back the old Twitter layout, runs smoother, has no ads, and is way more customizable. The chronological timeline alone makes it worth it. Feels like using Twitter back when it was actually good.
- Forrest
- only complaint is that it doesnt have gifs :) very nice!
- Edward Contreras
- This is awesome, i love it.
- Kana
- Would be great if the tabs on the home timeline stayed there, so you could still switch between different timelines, and you can customize which tabs to have
- Dieclick
- loads in 3 sec The dev is indeed a better programmer than the entire twitter website department
- Inky64
- So what happened to all the Skeuomorphism? It still works like how is should but i feel like its kinda lost its charm without it tbh

- This is my first time writing a review on Chrome Webstore for an extension because this is simply SO GOOD! I'm not a decade old Twitter user but personally I'd agree that old Twitter DOES look better than the current Twitter UI for some reason. 9/10 Would highly recommend. Minus one point because it also removed the translation button, which I find it hard to read tweets in other languages (JP, KR, Spanish, etc.)

- shhh.... dont tell anyone i told u this... dont make it mainstream.... but this gets rid of all nsfw ID verification on twitter....
- Rama Drian
- I rarely leave a review but this one deserves it. This extension rocks!
- Daniel Cook
- this is awesome wow
- BasicallyWiz
- I've never enjoyed looking at twitter until I installed this extension. If only I could use this on the mobile app.
- ethel
- awesome
- Mark Wabb
- Twitter's current staff sucks
- José Ayala
- Works fantastic! One tip for people wanting to post gifs: Press Windows + . (The dot key), it will open a small window with emojis and a search bar that functions the same as tenor.
- shia ebanks-blake
- great
- Glutton_ _Amibo
- I love it but the rate limit is still there for me?
- Ubirajara Theodoro
- Is it possible to add support for Grok and gifs?
- Muzikman127
- It's cool, twitters new Desktop UI is slow, buggy, generally awful, and this extension fixes a lot of that. Ctrl+F, can you believe it! My old laptop's fans not whirring to run a couple of tabs of what is ultimately a text-based website, lol. The main issue for me is that you can't post longer tweets. Longer tweets display fine, but if you want to post one yourself, the post button greys out have 280chars even if your account has longer tweets enabled. I use this feature, so for now, I'm disabling the extension
- jacket jacket
- nice but it removes the gif button that lets you access tenor and stuff when replying to or posting tweets and i used that a lot so /:
- niko
- Amamzing extension!!! absolutely loved it!!!
- Note Bone

- Kyle Anne
- Awesome. I just can't stand the new layout always loading the videos in low quality. You're amazing!
- Ömer Ziya Gencer
- I love this so many customizations but i think it should dark mode as default. Gj dev thanks.
- Gori.
- hi i have been using this for like a year now, and today whenever i go to someone's profile it says rate limit exceeded. i wonder if it is something with this software or if its just twitter acting up again. can anyone help me?
- Bobinski
- absoluty incredible, im disappointed in myself for not finding this sooner
