## Description

Many people are not a fan of Twitter's rebrand, as of writing the URL for the web client has changed to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/bbbd0abd56d9c27b91509f0839c7f12e3dadb8352ac0ee3d9210043cba246fe1/http%3A//x.com" rel="nofollow">x.com</a> so I have made this extension that replaces URL's copied from the Twitter.

Before: <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/66a12f9087fb65b4301ec5e92e0bf72f6dfed4a4c9fb2b980948fc4c445d5539/https%3A//x.com/home" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/home</a>
After: <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/f56bcbd61973ed02ea42b1dd0a8a037836725181ad6c69bdc8fa1834b0dc991b/https%3A//fxtwitter.com/home" rel="nofollow">https://fxtwitter.com/home</a>

This extension works with both URL's copied from the address bar and URL's copied from the copy link button on Twitter.
