# OldTweetDeck

Returns old TweetDeck, for free!

[!IMPORTANT] Do not use Search columns unless you have X Premium subscription.
If you do search for something (not recommended), remove the column immediately after you're done.

[!NOTE] Since Twitter made likes private, the Likes tab aren't loading anymore.
This can not be fixed since the API to retrieve the likes is gone. Same thing with Activity column.

If you're interested in getting 2015-2018 Twitter back, you can also check out OldTwitter extension.

Updating

If TweetDeck's files were updated, you should receive updated files automatically without having to reinstall after refreshing tab (unless you set localStorage.OTDalwaysUseLocalFiles = '1').
If extension files were updated, you have to reinstall extension to get new update.

Better TweetDeck

I've made a fork of BetterTD that works with this extension, you can find it here.
Install it the same way as this extension.
