Bring Twitter Back Chrome Extension

Bring Twitter Back transforms the new "X" interface back into the classic Twitter experience you know and love. It replaces every instance of the "X" logo with the familiar blue bird icon, reverts changed button texts like "post" and "repost" to their original labels, and updates browser tabs to show "Twitter" instead of "X". Additionally, the extension detects notifications and dynamically updates the tab icon to reflect your unread notifications.

Say goodbye to "X" and welcome back your favorite Twitter design with this simple, user-friendly extension. It's perfect for users who miss the iconic look and feel of Twitter and want a seamless browsing experience without the recent branding changes.

User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on for reverting Twitter's rebranding from 'X' back to 'Twitter' and restoring familiar terminology. However, the replacement mechanism is too aggressive, causing humorous or confusing replacements in unrelated contexts. The add-on does not fully cover all instances, including URLs and specific features. Some users experience inconsistent functionality across accounts and languages, with limited support for non-English languages. Additionally, recent platform updates have caused the add-on to stop working for some users, indicating a need for further refinements and updates.
Pros
  • Effectively restores Twitter branding by replacing instances of 'X' and 'Post' back to Twitter-related terms.
  • Simple to use and performs its core functionality as intended for many users.
  • Addresses user nostalgia and desire to revert changes introduced by Twitter rebranding.
  • Supports multiple user accounts to some extent.
Cons
  • Text replacement is overly aggressive, leading to unintended changes (e.g., changing 'X' in unrelated words or names).
  • Does not fully replace all instances, such as the URL (x.com) or certain buttons like 'Undo Repost'.
  • Functionality is inconsistent across different user accounts and languages; limited or no support for non-English languages.
  • Stopped working after platform changes (e.g., URL change back to x.com) without immediate updates.

It works, but the Tweet button is still black. Also it would be preferable if it changed the Grok logo to the previous Grok logo.
