Original Birds Firefox

Original Birds

A simple extension that shows green checkmarks next to legacy verified Twitter users.

Features & Capabilities

We've brought back the legacy Twitter verified checkmarks! Tired of not knowing who was an Original Bird (OB)? Then this extension is for you! A green checkmark is displayed on Twitter next to OBs from before the great purge of 2023. Features

  • Customize checkmark color, or replace with your OWN text/image!
  • Shows checkmarks on embedded Tweets (e.g. news websites).
  • Displays green checkmarks next to legacy verified users.
  • Toggle Twitter Blue checkmarks on/off. This extension is also available for Google Chrome. Please consider donating if you enjoy using our extension! Users of this extension will see all donor names in a light orange color on Twitter. Visit our website for more information.

Note: You will need to grant permission to access Twitter by clicking this extension under the jigsaw puzzle icon. It will briefly visit Elon Musk's Twitter page. Since he is always verified, we retrieve the checkmark after installation to avoid distributing copyrighted material.

Disclaimer: Legacy verified status is determined using Twitter handles. This is not 100% reliable since handles can change. We are working on this. Remember to always use common sense and aggregate multiple resources to validate someone's identity on Twitter.

Is Original Birds Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. 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.

Original Birds requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Original Birds has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
