- (2023-10-10) Antonio Abeyta: 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!
