User reviews

This Firefox add-on was once very useful for distinguishing between legacy verified Twitter accounts and paid blue checkmarks. Users appreciated its simplicity, customization options, and humor. However, recent Twitter/X updates have broken its core functionality, causing it to incorrectly label all blue checkmarks as paid. Despite its decline in usefulness, several users praise the add-on's initial effectiveness and express hope for updates. Minor UI preferences like removing the oval around the icon were also noted.

Pros

Works as intended and is simple to use.
Provides differentiation between paid and verified accounts (when functional).
Allows customization, such as changing text on blue checks.
Users find it funny and enjoyable to distinguish types of blue checks.
Previously very useful for identifying account types.

Cons

No longer works correctly due to Twitter/X updates changing the domain and verification system.
Cannot differentiate between paid badges and legacy verified accounts anymore.
Shows all blue checks as paid, losing original functionality.
Some users find the visual oval around the icon distracting.

Are there any plans to update this addon? Musk has redirected all twitter to an x dot com domain and now extensions like this and blue blocker are no longer working.
