GoodTwitter2[0] is the only reason that I still use the web version anymore. I can handle the mobile interface on a mobile device, but making the desktop experience mobile-themed was the straw that almost broke the camel's back. GoodTwitter2 mostly fixes that, thankfully.

The userscript also fixes the reverse-chronological issue. There's literally a setting that enables one to force "Latest Tweets First" mode, so it'll switch back to the "latest" feed whenever Twitter has decided that you should be viewing their "home" feed instead.

May I suggest the FF extension Minimal Theme[0] by Thomas Wang, which simplifies the UI by removing those enormous blobs of texts everywhere and also by hiding the "trends" panel.

Very good addition: it can also hide engagement counts (replies, RTs and likes), so you can scroll sanely without feeling obliged to like a stupid tweet just because it has 100 likes already.

Do you know how to access GT2 settings? I can't seem to find it after installing the script and confirming it works.

It should be accessible from the normal settings. Click on your profile avatar, settings and privacy, GoodTwitter2.

Yeah, it's blank for me unfortunately.

I think I'm experiencing a bug like this one here:
