Twitter looks different on my computer

The print is bigger and stuff is in different places. Anyone else have this? How do you switch it back to the old way?

It looked normal this morning then I went on tonight to check something and thought I was on the wrong site. It's fucking hideous. And there's a "people to follow" thing right in the middle of everyone's feed. I altered the display a bit in regard to color but it's still hideous.

I doubt there is a way to switch back to the old (better) way. This is the "improvement" they've decided to bless us with.

I first saw the new format last week. The next time I signed in, it was back to the old format. It's been random since. Last night it was the new format and when I signed in this morning it was the new format. I just signed in now, and it's back to the old format. Who knows.

Over the weekend if I signed in on google chrome I got the new version. If I used Microsoft edge I got the old version. Today I get the new version on both. (and it is awful.)

It's awful and you can't switch it back through the Settings either. Also, I got the "Error, try again" message every other time I opened it. People who aren't using Twitter on mobile seem to *really* hate it.

It drove me crazy but thankfully I found an extension on Reddit that made it revert back to the old interface. Won't last forever, though.

Another annoyance. The trending topics only show the first four. You have to click "show more" twice in order to see all ten topics and then it switches to its own page. You can't see all ten down the side of your feed (or homepage) anymore.

Yeah, mine changed too. THis happened for the first time a few weeks ago, and there was some kind of "legacy" setting or something that actually asked you if you wanted to go back to the old format. Which I did. But this time all of a sudden here's this new format, and no way to reset it to the old one.
