## What it is
A browser extension that restores the old Twitter layout from 2015 (with an optional 2018 design) by fully replacing the modern Twitter client rather than overlaying CSS. It also removes ads and tracking and adds features like unfollower tracking, video downloads, and tweet translation.

## Use cases
- restore old twitter layout 2015
- get the 2018 twitter design back
- use twitter without ads and tracking
- download twitter videos and gifs easily
- track who unfollowed me on twitter
- translate tweets without opening them
- make twitter faster and lighter

## When to choose
- you prefer the pre-2023 Twitter interface and want a full replacement client, not just CSS tweaks
- you want ad removal, analytics stripping, and extra features like unfollower tracking in one extension
- you use Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Firefox and want an actively maintained layout restoration

## When to avoid
- you are fine with the modern Twitter/X interface
- you need official support or guaranteed compatibility as Twitter's API and DOM change frequently
- you need a Firefox Add-ons store install (it was removed; manual installation is required)
