The Old Twitter Layout has been updated to version 1.9.0, compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. This extension allows users to revert to the classic Twitter interface from 2015, providing an alternative for those dissatisfied with the current design. Rather than modifying the existing Twitter layout with CSS, this extension introduces a completely new client that replaces the current one.
Key features of the Old Twitter Layout include:
- A default switch to a chronological timeline, with the option to revert to the algorithmic timeline in settings.
- Almost all functionalities of Twitter are preserved and optimized for faster loading times compared to the original platform.
- Customization options for profile link colors that are visible to other users of the extension.
- Features to enable or disable Twemoji, switch back from stars to hearts for likes, and modify default link colors and fonts.
- Support for dark mode and removal of advertisements.
- Simplified video and GIF downloading capabilities.
- A variety of hotkeys for enhanced navigation and functionality.
The hotkeys include general commands like focusing on the search bar, opening a new tweet modal, and managing tweet interactions such as liking, retweeting, and replying. Users can also disable all hotkeys if preferred.
The release comes amidst ongoing changes at Twitter, especially under the ownership of Elon Musk, who has made substantial alterations to the platform's policies and layout. This extension offers an alternative experience for users seeking familiarity in their social media interactions and a break from political posts often seen on Twitter.
In summary, the Old Twitter Layout extension revives a beloved version of Twitter and enhances user experience through customization, speed, and ease of use, catering to those who prefer the platform as it was before recent changes
