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

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.
