The Next Web:
You’ve probably heard about it: Twitter redesigned its platform to make it snappier and give you more color themes. But there’s a problem: a lot of people absolutely hate its new look. Don’t despair, though, there’s still a way to bring the old design back – and it’s actually pretty simple.
A developer going by the alias Zusor has built GoodTwitter, a simple add-on for Chrome and Firefox that resumes the Twitter‘s old design.
All you need to do is download the app, refresh the page, and boom – you’re done.
I posted a different hack on Twitter earlier this week but this one works as well.
Just hate Twitter
#deleteTwitterFacebook
That’s a great hash tag. You should post that on Twitter.
Surprisingly no. It needs some work to be less ugly and to draw your eye to the important parts, but I think they’re on to something.
Well, the old one wasn’t great shakes either. As time passes, Twitter is becoming less and less functional. But that is by design. They don’t want people talking back to the ad-oriented firehose. They’re just easing people into accepting having fewer opportunities to say what’s on their minds, and especially offer feedback to the ad purveyors.
Get an app and ignore the web page. Sure it is less functional (no direct messages allowed). Maybe a good way to wean one’s self off the platform altogether?
