Social media websites like Twitter are always looking for ways to update their settings and features, making it a more enjoyable experience for everybody. However, this doesn’t mean that you like or agree with all the updates as they occur.
If you’re having trouble adjusting to Twitter’s new design and wish that you could make the most of the old one, let’s talk. Here is how to get the old Twitter design back using a couple of different methods.
Using Good Twitter for Google Chrome
- Open Google Chrome on your computer. If you use Google Chrome for all of your web browsing, then you can easily install an extension named Good Twitter that can bring back the old look that Twitter. You’ll find it in the Applications Folder for Mac.
- Visit https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions. Sign in to your Google account if you aren’t already.
- Write ‘Good Twitter’ into the search bar and click ‘enter’ or ‘return’. You should see it come up along with several other results.
