Set your user agent to `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko`

Thank you for this! I wonder how long I'll be able to get away with this trick. The new twitter is terrible!

My twitter followers have confirmed that this works!

For me, deleting all cookies and logging back in works.

Neither this nor resetting one of the cookies to "off" (another method) works at all times. These are client-side overrides.

However, the user-agent spoofing works because it fakes IE11 on Windows 7 and it triggers a server-side override.

Setting the cookies

rweb_optin=off

dnt=1

and then navigating to https://twitter.com/i/directory then your user profile via the settings dropdown (next to [tweet]) seems to set you back to Legacy Twitter permanently without breaking your user agent.

Download a User-Agent switcher extension and set it to IE11. Downsides: You can't paste anything or watch videos/gifs.

Or better yet just put Twitter into its own container and patch up the UA with a native config override - https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/ce1bea/reverting_b...

There used to be an opt-out, but the endpoint has been removed. I'm not aware of a way to go back at this point.

I had the luck of nopping out of the new version pretty quickly.

I did too but they kept changing it back.
