About Retro Twitter
X is still Twitter to some of us.
Retro Twitter puts the old look back in the three places you actually notice:
• The blue bird replaces the X mark at the top of the sidebar
• Your x.com tabs get the bird favicon back, so they're easy to spot in a crowded tab bar
• The "Post" button says "Tweet" again — in the sidebar and in the composer
That's it. It runs only on x.com and twitter.com, touches nothing else on the page, and collects no data. Also no account, no tracking, no servers. The bird is drawn locally, so there's nothing to load and nothing to break.
The changes survive navigation, so the bird stays put as you move around the site.
