The Old Twitter Layout extension, version 1.9.7, has been released for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, providing users with a chance to revert to the classic Twitter design from 2015, often referred to as the BE (Before Elon) era. This extension allows users to bypass the new Twitter interface entirely by employing a distinct client that replaces the original layout.
One of the key features of the Old Twitter Layout is its default setting to a chronological timeline, although users can still revert to the algorithmic timeline via the settings menu. The extension is designed to replicate nearly all functionalities of Twitter while enhancing performance; many pages load faster than the original site.
Among its notable features are:
- Support for custom profile link colors, which can be seen by other users of the extension.
- Options to disable Twemoji, revert favorites back to likes (hearts), and customize link colors and fonts.
- Dark mode compatibility and the removal of all advertisements.
- Simplified video and GIF downloads, along with extensive hotkey support for efficient navigation.
The hotkey functionality is particularly comprehensive, allowing users to perform various actions quickly. For instance, general hotkeys include focusing the search bar, opening a new tweet modal, and closing any modal. Active tweet hotkeys enable users to navigate between tweets, like or retweet, and manage tweet media.
Moreover, hotkeys specifically designed for reply and quote functions enhance user experience by allowing seamless interactions within the tweet composition interface.
In summary, the Old Twitter Layout extension offers a nostalgic return to the classic Twitter interface while introducing improvements in speed, customization, and user experience. As Twitter continues to evolve, tools like this provide users with the flexibility to enjoy the platform in a way that suits their preferences.
Looking ahead, we can anticipate further updates and enhancements to this extension, potentially expanding its features and compatibility with new web standards, ensuring it remains a viable option for users seeking a familiar Twitter experience
