How to get the blue bird back from Twitter if you don’t want “X”

Since Elon Musk announced Twitter’s rebranding, replacing the iconic blue bird with the letter “X”, many users have not welcomed the change with open arms. Fortunately, there’s a browser extension that lets you recover the old Twitter logo. In this article, we’ll show you how to use this extension and get back to the beloved blue bird.

Why create a recovery extension for the previous logo?

According to reports, the developer of this extension is not a big fan of Twitter’s new ‘X’ logo. So he created this extension to replace the new logo with the familiar old Twitter logo.

Using the browser extension

How do I install and use this extension on Chrome? Although installing it can be a little tricky at the moment, clear instructions on the installation procedure are provided, along with tips on how to get the most out of the extension.

It’s important to note that this extension only works on the web version of Twitter and on the Chrome browser. Users of other browsers or the mobile application will not be able to benefit from it. The developer of this extension has not yet decided on its long-term availability.

Replace the “X” with Twitter’s blue bird

If you’re against this change, there’s a Chrome extension that allows you to recover the old Twitter logo. Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the extension’s GitHub page.
2. Follow the instructions to download and install the extension on your Chrome browser.
3. Once the extension is activated, it will replace the X logo with the Twitter logo on the right-hand sidebar and on the web icon.

Use another Bring Back Twitter extension already on the Chrome Web Store

Here’s how to install the Chrome extension to recover the Twitter Bluebird:

1. Open the Chrome Web Store.
2. Search for “Bring Back Twitter” in the search bar.
3. Click “Add to Chrome” to install the extension.
4. If the extension requires specific authorisations or data, you will be informed before installing it. Click “Add extension” to approve.
5. Once the extension is installed, it will automatically replace the X logo with the blue Twitter bird on the right-hand sidebar and on the web icon.

Thanks to this browser extension, users who are unhappy with Twitter’s new ‘X’ logo will be able to rediscover the blue bird that symbolises the microblogging platform. Although it has a few limitations, this extension offers a temporary solution for those who prefer the old logo. Keep an eye on future developments of the extension to see if it will be maintained and offered on other browsers.
