      On a minor note, my web Twitter is now stuck on mobile display (no, I'm not using https://m.twitter.com ). I logged out, turned computer off, etc. No avail. Is it just me? Anyone know how to make sure it uses desktop interface? 😬

      That's the new "redesign" Search reddit for ways to trick it into using the old design by spoofing the user agent

      There is this. In any case, new twitter seems so bloated to me that tweetdeck not only continues to work better, it actually now seems lighter than new twitter https://tweetdeck.twitter.com  PS Tweetdeck is just a web page. There is also an app but it seems to me most think only apphttps://twitter.com/dakami/status/1153285915520819200 …

      I just did this. OMG I hope they don't break this exception. The new UI is unusable.

          I really recommend tweetdeck. No ads, no algorithmic timelines, just twitter as it was years ago. I think tweetdeck is intended for media employees who need a no nonsense interface. Why more people don't use it is a mystery to me. It is desktop only though.

          If you use the Tweetdeck app, it too compels you to use the mobile interface. At least when you run it in a web browser, it is possible to delete the "mobile" from the login URL and get back to the regular login - which includes the ability to uncheck the Remember Me option.

          Takes awhile to adjust but it is still usable. Learning the keyboard shortcut for new tweet ("n") helps.

          ICYMI Here's a way to restore the old interface. Works fine for me. Not sure if one needs to do this each time, but much easier than using dev toolshttps://twitter.com/RickOnTheStrip/status/1151865676568469505 …

          Found a way to go back to the old Twitter! Only downside is that it goes back to the new twitter if you hit the refresh button. Not like you'll need to hit refresh though. If I sounded weird in this, it's because I'm tired. #TwitterRedesign #OldTwitter #NewTwitter #TwitterUpdate pic.twitter.com/khcJ3JxfUg
