This Add-on brings back old twitter by changing the user agent of all your browsers requests to the one of an older browser

If this add-on stops working, try the troubleshooting guide.

EXPLANATION FOR REQUIRING THE BROWSING HISTORY PERMISSION: If you install the add-on there will be a warning that it can read your browsing history. This is technically true, however it doesn't. It needs the permission to clean the cache for twitter after installing. GoodTwitter does NOT collect any information about you, it does NOT use any analytics at all.

User reviews

Useless now. You can't have this extension on without it breaking the site. Its not even elons fault, its literally that they removed the old API and replaced it with an actually much better one. Not like old twitter mattered anyway, since the shortcuts for certain things stopped being helpful cuz moments are annoying. Instead this should be updated to replace all "X" assets with Twitter ones and the URL. Till then, this new review stands.
