GoodTwitter

Forces your browser to use old twitter.

What is GoodTwitter?
‘GoodTwitter’ is a handy Firefox add-on that was designed to force your browser to use the old Twitter interface. It changes the user agent of all your browsers requests to that of an older browser, thus allowing Twitter to use its old version. Please note that this add-on is no longer supported or updated. Originally developed by ZusorCode, the complete project is open-source.

i'm putting 5 stars because this allowed me to keep 2018 twitter layout and not have to stand the ugly mobile app for web version for a whole year before you stopped supporting it and I almost never used web twitter again after that when I used to use it all the time. It was amazing and I wish it would come back because the other old twitter layout extension is twitter's 2015 layout which isn't as good.
