THIS ADDON IS DEPRECATED AND WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPORTED https://twitter.com/ZusorOW/status/1258885451055800320

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.

For troubleshooting go here https://github.com/ZusorCode/GoodTwitterChrome/blob/master/troubleshooting.md

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.

    A very outdated extension would love an update if possible. I would happily redo my review if that were the case. I get the error, "This browser is no longer supported." Please switch to a supported browser to continue using Twitter.com. You can see a list of supported browsers in our Help Centre. "  I'm guessing Elon Musk had some say.
