Here's how to get it working. Go to https://crxextractor.com and paste the link to this extension into it and download the CRX file, then on the same page upload the CRX to get the unpacked zip file. Extract it and open it, then open manifest.json in Notepad. (If you don't get a pop-up to choose what app to open with, right click and press "Open with" then "Choose another app" and choose Notepad) Change all the "twitter.com"s to "x.com". Save the file and go to chrome://extensions/ if you're on chrome or any equivilent on other browsers. On Chrome enable "Developer mode" in the top right corner, then press "Load unpacked" and choose the unzipped folder you edited a moment ago. It should work now.
