It's unbelievable how good this is. Really hammers in how ungodly garbage Elon's X layout is.

Ze, 2025-03-03

this extension is absolutely awesome, after using the modern ui for a long time this one is a breath of fresh air. The old ui is soo much interesting and fun but this one has 1 major drawback that is there is no gif support however you can see other people's reply tweets with gifs but you can't attach gifs to your tweet, wth ? this feature needs to be added asap, if this is added i would easily give it a 5 star.
