User reviews

Users appreciate that this extension successfully replaces the unpopular 'X' logo with the iconic blue Twitter bird on both the website and browser tabs, making Twitter usage more comfortable and visually familiar. It is favored compared to other similar extensions for its effectiveness. However, recent updates raising privacy concerns due to broad permissions, and some functionality glitches after updating, have detracted for several users. Additionally, requests remain to improve ad/suggested word hiding and to enhance icon quality.

Pros

Effectively replaces the X logo with the classic blue bird Twitter icon, improving familiarity and user comfort.
Changes the tab icon and bookmark icon to the blue bird, which users appreciate and find less cringeworthy.
Simple and well-functioning extension that works smoothly for avid Twitter users.
Preferred over similar extensions for its quality and completeness in restoring the original Twitter branding elements.
Provides relief to users uncomfortable with the new 'X' branding introduced by Elon Musk.

Cons

Recent updates request excessive permissions to read and change data on all websites, causing user distrust and privacy concerns.
Some users experience functionality issues after latest updates, such as the icon not changing anymore despite permissions granted.
The extension does not remove or hide suggested words or ads, which some users feel could be improved.
Loading screen still shows the 'X' logo, which some users would like to have replaced or removed.
Favicon image quality appears low to some users; they suggest using SVG for better resolution.

はじめは別の拡張機能を使っていたが昨日から無効化されがちになったために似た機能を持ったこれを導入。サジェストワードが消えないのが寂しいがアイコンは直ったがもっと広告を非表示にしてくれても良い気がします。チョット上手くいかないので他所の移行します

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
