OldTwitter (2022)

Chrome extension to return old Twitter layout from 2015.
This extension doesn't add any CSS on top of original Twitter. It's fully original client made by me in a week.

Installation

Chrome Web Store / Firefox Add-ons

To be approved...

Manual installation

  • Go to Releases page
  • Download OldTwitterChrome.zip if you're on Chrome and OldTwitterFirefox.zip if you're on Firefox

Chrome

  • Unpack file anywhere
  • Go to chrome://extensions
  • Turn on Developer mode
  • Press "Load unpacked" and select folder with extension
    Install Chrome

Firefox

  • Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
  • Press "Load Temporary Add-on" and select zip file you downloaded Install Firefox

Please keep in mind that when you're installing add-on manually like this and not from Firefox Add-on website, it'll disappear after you restart browser and you'll have to add it again. Chrome doesn't have this issue. I'll publish extension to Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons soon after testing everything and this will be no longer an issue.

FAQ

Is this extension safe?

The code is open source (duh) so you can check everything yourself. It never sends any of your personal info anywhere.

[insert thing] doesn't look like it was in 2015 Twitter!

Extension won't be pixel perfect copy of old Twitter. I just took general and feel look of it.

I installed extension and my timeline is feels kinda unusual

You had algorithmical timeline enabled. By default OldTwitter turns on chronological timeline. If you really want your stinky algo timeline back go to extension settings.
Fun fact: algo timeline is around 5 times slower than chronological one

How do I visit original Twitter client after installing extension?

Go to mobile.twitter.com.

  • Frequently need to refresh the page

    Frequently need to refresh the page

    This happens inconsistently but enough to be annoying. I e.g. click on a link to another tweet and the page hangs on the Twitter logo until I manually refresh.

  • Site wont open if extension is removed

    Site wont open if extension is removed

    Describe the bug Once u uninstall / remove the extension (Old twitter) from your browser to use the normal UI, the original site gets broken until you reinstall / re-enable the extension, softlocking myself into the old twitter theme.

    To Reproduce (using operaGX). install the extension trough chrome store, Use it normally and tweet something, uninstall the extension while leaving a window open using the extension, reload the site, now the original URL with the original site says : "Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot." (a button saying "try again" will appear, which once clicked will reload the site with no changes) (after doing this, the site will be broken no matter what browser i use) (Account used in phone will remain normal with no issue)

    Expected behavior Twitter site should open normally when the extension on my browser is uninstalled.

  • Trying to load

    Trying to load "Favorites" (or likes) menu causes a "Something went wrong" error

    Describe the bug Clicking the favorites button (with the number underneath) caused an error to occur.

    To Reproduce Go onto any (i presume) tweet and click the favorites button.

    Expected behavior A list to show up with the users who have liked my tweet.

    Screenshots image image and the text was ReferenceError: mainTweetLikers is not defined at appendTweet (chrome-extension://jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf/scripts/helpers.js:1258:26) at async TweetViewer.updateLikes (chrome-extension://jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf/scripts/tweetviewer.js:244:25) (OldTwitter v1.6.5.2)

    Browser Opera GX LVL 4 (core: 92.0.4561.64) image however at the time of the error the version was: LVL 4 (core: 91.0.4516.106) image

    Hope this helps!

    Add toggle for switching between old/new UI

    Spawned by my other question about lists, it would be nice to have a toggle for switching back and forth between the new UI and old UI for e.g. when Twitter adds some new feature that isn't supported yet - saves the user a trip to their extensions settings.

    Option to view high resolution images

    It would be nice if you could change the viewer image resolution, or have it set to the original resolution by default. Other extensions, which are unfortunately incompatible, do it by appending parameters to the url: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/XXXXXXXXXXX?format=...&name=... where format is either jpg or png and name is one of thumb small medium 900x900 large 4096x4096 orig (note that orig doesn't work with png)
