This Chrome extension swaps Elon Musk's X back to the Twitter bird
There's no going back to the halcyon pre-Elon Musk Twitter days, but you can reverse his latest harebrained change.
Musk has rebranded Twitter as X, the apparent beginning of his goal to make an all-in-one app. That seems unlikely at the moment, considering the rebrand into X has been shortsighted at best. A generic-looking X logo has basically been slapped across Twitter while also keeping the words "Twitter" and "tweet" everywhere. In short, it's a mess and the site looks pretty bad.
That in mind, software developer Cygaar dropped a Chrome extension that replaces the X branding with the old school Twitter bird.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
You can find the info for installing the extension at Github though Cygaar wrote in a follow-up tweet that they didn't expect to maintain it longterm barring a large demand. So if you want to install the extension do it soon and don't count on having it forever. There's only so much that can be done to slow Musk's changes, after all.
So yes, Twitter as we once knew it may be dead, but at least you can keep the bird logo around for just a bit longer.
