The latest version (1.9.0.4) of the Old Twitter Layout extension has been released for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, allowing users to revert to the classic Twitter interface from 2015. This extension is ideal for those who prefer the pre-Elon Musk design and functionality. Unlike other extensions that merely modify the current Twitter layout with CSS, Old Twitter Layout offers a completely separate client that effectively replaces the new Twitter interface.
One of the key features of this extension is its default setting for a chronological timeline, although users can easily switch back to the algorithmic timeline through the settings menu. The extension retains nearly all functionalities found on Twitter, boasting faster page loading times compared to the original platform. Users can customize profile link colors, which will also be visible to other extension users, and there are options to enable or disable Twemoji, revert favorites back to likes (hearts), and change default link colors and fonts.
Moreover, the Old Twitter Layout supports dark mode, removes all advertisements, simplifies the process of downloading videos and GIFs, and includes numerous hotkeys for enhanced navigation. Users can disable these hotkeys if desired. For example, general hotkeys allow users to quickly focus on the search bar, open a new tweet modal, or navigate through tweets using specific keys.
In addition to the existing functionalities, users now have the flexibility to block political posts on Twitter, which may help improve their experience by filtering out unwanted content. This feature aligns with growing concerns about political discourse on social media platforms.
The Old Twitter Layout extension provides a nostalgic experience for long-time Twitter users, emphasizing speed, customization, and user control over their social media interactions. As social media continues to evolve, such tools may become increasingly valuable for users seeking to tailor their online experiences according to their preferences
