## Description

GoodTwitter is a Chrome extension designed to force your browser to load the older version of Twitter's web interface by altering the user agent string for all browser requests. This allows users who prefer the classic Twitter layout to bypass the newer design and experience Twitter in its previous form. 

Please note that this add-on is deprecated and no longer supported. For troubleshooting and additional information, users can refer to the extension's GitHub repository. GoodTwitter is an open-source project and donations are appreciated but not required.
