## Description

Twitter Misc is a suite of miscellaneous Twitter tools, originally named Twitter Old UI. It relies on Twitter's HTML and may break if the layout changes. Features include opening Twitter in a sidebar, context menu actions to open links there, searching within Twitter, quoting tweets by text and page URL, injecting a custom style sheet to modify the page, expanding and displaying long URLs, and translating tweets. It also supports loading new tweets regularly.

Note: This extension fakes the user agent to IE11 to retrieve the older layout. Because Twitter updates its UI, not all elements may be restored and some features may not work as expected. Reload the page after changes and re-login if necessary to switch between layouts.
