## Description

Rewrites Twitter/X links when copying via share button. Supports custom rules. Perfect for Discord and Telegram users

Twitter Link Rewriter is a browser extension that automatically rewrites Twitter/X URLs when you copy them using the share button. It intercepts clipboard operations and converts links to alternative formats like vxTwitter (for better Discord embeds), fxTwitter, Nitter (privacy-friendly frontend), or simply removes tracking parameters.

The extension features multiple rewrite modes, supports custom rewrite rules with regex patterns, works on both Chrome and Firefox, and provides visual feedback when links are modified. It only requires clipboard write permission, stores settings locally, and doesn't collect or transmit any data.

Perfect for users who want better embeds when sharing tweets, prefer privacy-friendly alternatives, or want to customize how Twitter links are shared.
