if you want a more lightweight version of twitter on any browser, try: http://mobile.twitter.com

You can also play user-agent games to get the Android version in your browser. I prefer the regular mobile edition, but it's interesting to poke around; I've found three separate versions of the site just by faking out my user agent.

I used to use that all the time. It's essentially old twitter with a layout that is a little less wide.
