Restore an older Twitter layout from 2015 or 2018 with the OldTwitter browser extension.
About OldTwitter
OldTwitter is a browser extension that replaces the current Twitter client with a layout based on the 2015 design, with a setting for a 2018 design. It implements almost all Twitter functionality and includes video and GIF download, inline tweet translation, follower search, sort and filter, unfollower tracking, dark mode, and custom colors, fonts, and CSS. It also removes ads, analytics and tracking.
It is not a pixel-perfect copy of the 2015 interface and defaults to a reverse-chronological timeline. The Firefox Add-ons listing was removed, so Firefox users install it manually from GitHub.
