Anybody else who is tired of the new Twitter design and wants the old back? Here is what you do in Firefox and Chrome

1. I use Firefox and uses an addon called Good Twitter and it works perfectly. Use it with automatic updates. Best would of course be that Twitter returns to the old design. The new design is very bad.
2. In Chrome Webshop you add Old Twitter Layout

Me. I'm on Microsoft edge though. The new twitter has changed twice but I still think it's worse rather than better.

Have you tried the app? Or do you only look at Twitter on a desktop?

Only use Twitter on laptop with Firefox. Have the app and I use it to see if there are new tweets - seldom gives comments. The bad thing with the new design is that it's difficult to embed a tweet in an article - and I write a lot in a Danish tennis zine

I don't use Edge but perhaps another member knows how to return to the old design

Thank you very much. ;0) If not they'll have to just see this as a rant & I'll have to just accept things as they are.

I wonder why she parted ways with Murray. I thought he was good for her.

Players rarely comment as to why they parted,like you I thought their partnership was a good one.
BTW I am still seeing Simona Halep being coached by Darren Cahill,just watched them via video at the USO on practice court.
