This _was_ easy the last time I created a new extension, as Firefox also supports the `chrome` namespace for extension APIs, but now that Chrome Web Store isn't accepting new Manifest V2 extensions, you'll at the very least have t

Looking forward to a verified @RealEliLilleyCEO account appearing 5 minutes after Twitter Blue 2.0 3.0 comes out, which only allows you to trivially impersonate people, after which Musk will completely independently invent Verification 2.0

Brecht contributed this feature to Tweak New Twitter [1] if you want to turn your timeline off and have to intentionally turn it on again, so you can't casually browse it - it's in the Experiments section at the bottom of the exte

It's worth revisiting some of your favourites in an emulator - these days PSX emulators can do perspective correct texturing to fix the jiggling and warping, which combined with internal upscaling makes games which were badly affected
