Extension Usage Instructions
This Google Chrome extension will:
- Move content (timeline) to the left-hand side and the dashboard to the right for easier reading.
- Expand shortened URL’s wherever possible, so you know where you are actually clicking.
- Display your saved searches & @mentions.
- Hide “Trends”, “Who to Follow”, and “#Discover”
- Widen the layout and (optionally) use a serif font
It’s open source, too: https://github.com/clipperhouse/BetterBird
