## What it is
A browser extension that distinguishes Twitter Blue subscribers from genuinely verified accounts on Twitter/X by adding visual indicators to profiles and tweets. It installs via the Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera extension stores.

## Use cases
- tell apart twitter blue users from real verified accounts
- check if a twitter account is actually verified
- avoid mistaking paid blue checkmarks for legacy verification
- identify authentic journalists and officials on twitter
- clean up checkmark confusion on my twitter feed

## When to choose
- you browse Twitter/X and want at-a-glance verification clarity
- you use Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Opera and want a one-click install

## When to avoid
- you don't use Twitter/X
- you need Safari support, which is not yet available
- you need server-side or API-based verification analysis

- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: browser-extension
- domain: social-media, browser-extensions
- platform: browser, browser-extension
